A:AnswerFor the machine to operate? No, but you do need an active account with an internet provider. Depending on the internet provider (Frontier, Xfinity, etc.) they may require a contract for service.
A:AnswerYes, I have Xfinity and it works fine. You just need to make sure you have a modem to collect the internet being sent to your location. The router only creates "paths" for your machines to access the internet, it cannot receive and disperse unless you get something specifically labeled as a "modem and router".
A:AnswerThere are no "limit" features beyond prioritizing other devices. The tri-band has "smart connection" technology that chooses which devices get put on which bandwidth. In respect to my experience with our old Linksys dual-band router, we had the ability to choose which devices were on the slower bandwidth, and which were on the faster one. They would be listed separately when you set up a wifi connection on a device like a PS4. You might want to look into a dual-band router if you want more control over your router settings. (side note, you can prioritize devices on a dual-band router as well)
A:AnswerHi Ninja. If you want to extend the Wi-Fi of your current router using the Linksys MR8300, then you’ll have to set up the MR8300 on Bridge Mode. For more details, you can check this link: https://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=306847#SF2.
A:AnswerHi cp. As long as you have a modem or gateway with an active internet connection that supports Ethernet connection with Xfinity/Comcast, then it should be compatible with the Linksys MR8300.
A:AnswerNo, Rezybird08. Our routers do not require monthly fees. As long as they are connected to a modem provisioned by your ISP and configured properly, they should work fine.

Wifi adapter is wifi with an Ethernet connection.
So internet from the router to this device, would

A:AnswerHi mikey. You can do this by setting the Linksys MR8300 to Bridge Mode. To know more about this configuration, check out this link: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article/?articleNum=316730.
A:AnswerYou can try reseting the router settings back to default. If that still doesn't work, then you probably got a bad unit, and need to exchange it.
A:AnswerHi, Taran. If the ISP modem has a wireless capability, we recommend setting the Linksys MR8300 to Bridge Mode so it will extend your current network. The MR8300 must be configured as a lone router first before you can do the changes. You can refer to this link for more details: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article/?articleNum=316730.
