A:AnswerYes in the router gateway setting under parental controls you can deny access, limit access between hours or full access for any device attached to your network(computers,phones,tablet etc...). you can also deny specific websites.
A:AnswerYes. Any of the Linksys, Asus or Netgear router rated AC3200 or above. You also have to have a modem that is docsis 3.1 rated to take advantage of the higher speeds.
There are also some new residential routers coming out by these same companies with the model designation AX and wifi 6 in their model numbers that will do a great job.
There are also some commercially rated wifi routers from Luxul, Araksis and Ubiquiti that handle these higher speeds more effortlessly.
The three residential models start at around $225.00 and go up from there.
I would recommend using separate modem and wifi and positioning the router as high as possible off of the ground floor and away from any metal or enclosure.
A:AnswerThis router can be managed with the LinkSys app, which provides information about connected devices using a very sophisticated dashboard and user interface. It does not provide information about the usage history about the connected devices. Maybe accessing the router directly via its IP address might provide the information you are looking for but I have not tried that.
A:AnswerIf you are talking about the company Sonic that provides internet service... Yes. Make sure the equipment they have installed is a modem only piece and does not have its own wifi built in.
This is a good unit for laptops and phones. Depending on the speed of your internet service in your home, you may want a unit that starts at AC3200 or higher.
A:AnswerYou shouldn't need this if you have a mesh network. If your mesh net is working, but has an area that needs more coverage, just add another mesh net node.
A:AnswerHi. Yes, it should work with most internet providers. Please note that this is a dedicated router and you will still need to have a modem from your provider for the internet.
A:AnswerNot necessarily. Some older wireless devices only connect to a 2.4 Ghz wireless signal. Had a similar issue with a Samsung Blu Ray player (4 or 5 years old). It won't see my 5 Ghz network, even if I try to give it the settings manually. Make sure your 5 Ghz is setup and enabled, but it may be the device itself that is limited.
