“I need an auto detect modem/router combo with exterior antennas that will work with centurylink. Will this one do that? A phone tech suggested I get this so we could have service extended from our house to a guest house. At the moment wifi doesn't even go into our master bedroom and the tech said due to interference with TV on outside bedroom wall.”

It's a router. It does not contain a modem. You would need a separate modem with this. You might want to call Century Link and ask them what modems or combo modem/router is compatible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this will not work. I say that it won't work simply because this router is simply a router and not a combo router/modem. I hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi. We're using this unit with an extender to be able to get internet in our detached garage. It works fine, no problems with set-up. The extender found the new unit on it's own.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This isn't a modem/router, just a router. You could put this router in bridge mode but make sure you talk to Linksys before purchasing for instructions.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Is your TV a smart TV and hooked into the WiFi? I'm having very similar issues with this router. Won't reach even 1 room away. Smart TV but not connected to WiFi so shouldn't matter but maybe I'm wrong.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Linksys - 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi Gigabit Router will work with any cable Internet service through the Ethernet cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a difficult question with not enough information. If you currently have a phone-company modem-router-wireless device then the signal is pretty weak and most of the default devices are cr*p. You may be able to simply connect this/any wireless device directly to the phone company modem (turn off the phone company wireless) and the new wireless router may reach farther. I cannot speak to that model. That said some wireless routers allow for larger/longer antenna(s) to be attached and length-does-matter. (Microcenter sells large antenna for like $10) Another alternative is to set up the new wireless router as a repeater which simple extends the original wifi signal from the phone company modem-router-wireless. Compatibility for repeaters is unlikely. It is a challenge just get two like devices from the same maker to work and in most cases that is above the pay grade (difficulty) for a regular user. Some of the $250 plus devices from Netgear (Nighthawk line) and ASUS have beam-forming with multiple antenna. Normally I am loathe to endorse such bleeding-edge tech but I will admit the Nighthawk routers have great reach and I have installed about two dozen for various clients. I bet this does not help you at all.
