A:AnswerIf the WiFi signal is blocked the first consideration is placement in a more central location with fewer to no structural or radio signal interferences. If that isn't possible, then using an extender, repeater, or booster is, perhaps, the next best solution. However, not all devices are dual band, so choose one that meets the bandwidth on the router's WiFi network.
A:AnswerThis device has 4 Ethernet ports. You can connect up to 4 individual devices, or connect in a switch or a hub to expand the number of ports if desired. The device will support up to 255 computers.
A:AnswerI believe you need to go to your service provider as I did and get a new access code they will walk you through the process and get you back online again.
A:AnswerYes, I have Frontier. The online set up instructions include phone numbers for all major carriers including Frontier, and exactly what to say when contacting them. The Frontier help desk were excellent.
A:AnswerNo, the unit is to be used by the likes of Qwest, and it is a DSL Modem and wireless router all in one. You need a Cable Modem, and I would suggest the Motorola Surf Cable modem and a Linksys or Netgear wireless router. You can also purchase a Cable Gateway which is a combination of a cable modem and wireless router, they can be a little pricey. I also have Comcast and use the the Arris Cable Modem and the Nighthawk 3200AC router, both are on the high end of equipment.
