A:AnswerYes. This is a powerful router. I have a two story house with a finished basement. Router is on the main level. Two smart tv’s. One of them is 4K. Four laptops. Four cel phones. Two tablets. Two game consoles.
This router replaced an Apple AirPort Extreme. As we added devices it couldn’t keep up.
There was a dead spot in one of the bedrooms. Not anymore. Netflix would either buffer or the audio and lips got out of sync. That issue is gone.
I was going to get WiFi extenders which would have been cheaper but opted for a better router. This one has better range and stronger signal.
Spectrum internet service. I put there router in “bridge” mode. Just call them and tell them to do it. It’s easy. So now it’s just a modem.
This router was more than I was looking to pay but in the end worth the money. Super easy to set up too. I did it in 15-20 minuets
A:AnswerHello, JR. All six external antennas are adjustable to different positions depending on your preference. However, to optimize your antennas’ maximum signal strength, it is recommended to position each vertically at a 90-degree angle.
A:AnswerIt worked with my CenturyLink 1G service but not at full quoted speed. Was getting around 500-600Mbps in both directions. Not saying it was the router definitely but I uploads were faster with the stock CenturyLink router with the wired connection. Don't expect wireless speed to get close to 1G. Even on the best connection the best you will do with AC at this point is probably in 500Mbps range. Typically youre more likely to see speeds in the 200-400Mbps range.
A:AnswerNo you cannot set up OpenVPN on this router. I have been back and forth with Linksys. In their product description and press release they stated it would be an add on via firmware update. After several calls with Linksys customer service and tech support they confirmed NO open VPN. They offered to swap it out with the WRT3200ACM for $212 more than what I could buy it for on Amazon. Very disappointing!!!!
Misleading the Buyer from Linksys Press Release:
OpenVPN Server - VPN feature allows users too remotely and securely access resources shared within their home local area network
