A:AnswerHello Sergeant Major!
Short answer, No, you cannot REPLACE your modem/router combo because this device does not include a modem. You could utilize this device as a better router/wireless access point than your current device, but you would still have to keep it. That being said, you are probably looking for another router/modem combo. Determine the requirements of your service provider, or ask them for recommendations, and then look for a modem based on that. Most modems you find here on Best Buy are modem/router combos.
A:Answerit's a router. if you have a modem that has an rj45 connection on it for connection to a PC or otherwise just plug in a cat6 or 5 or 7 etc cable in to this routers wan port and the other end into the modem and then plug them both in and wait a few min then do the setup via the router
A:AnswerWhen using wireless keep in mind that the 2.4 Ghz band may stay connected at a further distance from your wireless router than the 5 Ghz band on wireless routers so try connecting your client device to the 2.4 Ghz band. Consult your owners manual to determine if your router has 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz bands. Also, for troubleshooting purposes, place your client device in the same room near your wireless router and observe if drop outs still occur. If drop outs still occur, then you very likely have a failing radio within the wireless router which means you should contact Customer Support for repair/replacement -or- go purchase a new wireless router …. just avoid ASUS at all costs. Best Buy Geek Squad tells me that Net Gear is the best to deal with when it comes to their repair/replacement policy. The ASUS repair center is on the West Coast of US so be prepared to pay return shipping costs if you plan on dealing with ASUS.
A:AnswerSomehow, you are confused.
I am unaware of any router protocol other then what the IEEE Committee has mandated for TCP/IP.
If there is a special protocol that 1 router uses internally, it has no effect with another TCP/IP WiFi Routers.
The larger question is:
What are you trying to accomplish anyway?
Are you asking whether one router is compatible with another? Under the TCP/IP Protocol rules, absolutely! That is why the IEEE/Committee exists in the 1st place.
