A:AnswerThis will do the job for you. You can use st least 5 routers on a single SSID. Make sure you place them for the best connectivity with as few interferences as possible.
A:AnswerMine would not. Llet me clarify, it is just ethernet so it sets up and configures just fine. It looked like all was good. For some reason, I couldn’t get above 300 mbps via ethernet (not wifi) with ny att gigabit fiber service. I then tested the google home router and Apple AE, both worked fine. I finally gave up on the linksys and returned it :(.
A:AnswerYou may be disappointed with the USBs (one is 3.0 and one is 2.0) if you're using a Mac running an OS higher than 10.10, at least if you want to connect something like a printer to it. LinkSys requires downloading their USB Control Center to put a printer on the USB ports, and it requires a driver called SXUPTP, which is incompatible with the newer Mac OSs and thus doesn't download. This leaves you out of luck, at least for that use.
A:AnswerThe router will support it. If you did the automatic setup, the router will set it on the band automatically. If you manually setup the different network bands, you will have to place it on the one you want to see other devices with. If you have different network names for the bands, you may not be able to see printers, TV's, etc....
A:AnswerThe SKU is the same. The new version simply replaced the older 1.1 which replaced the 1.0 versions. You can go to any bestbuy that shows them in stock and check the box.
As new models are available, they get integrated with the existing stock counts until all the old models are sold or sent back to the manufacturer.
A:AnswerI have ATT Gig internet which is fiber. I had to use passthrough mode on my ATT router and turn off DHCP and put my Linksys on a different IP range. I was able to get it working with the help of Google and YouTube
A:AnswerYes it was easy to connect printer and share and the HDD does not need format it reads my files off that were already on the HDD. Use the genie app its great.
A:AnswerThe faster your internet speed the more you'll get out of this router but no minimum speed required. How ever if your internet is slower than 50mbps there are other significantly cheaper options.
A:AnswerI have an xfinity router that has a built in N router.So, what I did was I bridged the modem to my AC 5400 router. The modem has built in software to allow you to bypass your built in router and connect to your new router.You log in to your modem to do this. Your login url depends on your modem brand. Anyway, after doing this which takes only a few minutes, I enjoy speeds like I never did before. Don't waste this router as a range extender.
