Q: Whats better this or the Nighthawk mesh system.
A: This… 1000% this.. had the mesh and it was horrible. Dropped signals, resetting daily.. it was beyond aggravating. This router covers our 2600 square foot house perfectly.
Q: Is this product compatible with Verizon fios
A: It’s compatible with any ISP. I currently run it on Centurylink fiber and it works great. Review incoming.
Q: It’s compatible with XFINITY / COMCAST
A: Yes - I would suggest you put your XFinity modem into bridge mode.
A: Yes it will switch to 2.4g to run all smart bulbs. And at full strength.
Q: Can you add an Orbi satellite to this router?
A: You can add any other device. But, if you want everything on the same network IP segment, the Orbi should be in AP mode. If not, the Orbi will be another router behind the this router. That can mean more NAT issues, and no being to reach everything from any device. I run a ASUS mesh system in AP mode behind this router for extending range. The router treats anything connected to them as just another device connect directly to it.
A: If you're using the port marked "Internet", it's limited to 1gig. The router supports WAN aggregation, but I'm assuming you have one link from your ISP. If that's the case, try configuring the 2.5Gig port as your WAN interface. Second, all of the LAN connections are going to be 1Gig as well. This router does support LAN link aggregation if you use the two aggregate link ports, which would allow you to have 1Gig + 1Gig = 2Gig to the device. Some computers, especially gaming computers, have two LAN connections for this reason. So, run your internet into the 2.5Gig port, and run two cables to your computer using the aggregate ports to get 1gig+1gig. At least that's how I understand it.
Q: Does it support a land line
A: Yes
