Q: QuestionHow does this give your wifi connected devices speeds up to 1000mbps if the incoming speed from a modem is limited to 100mbps since it doesnt have a gigabit ethernet port?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer It won't! Connected to the internet you will only get whatever speed your service provider gives you. But you can go faster if you are doing a file transfer through WiFi not to the internet.

Q: Questioni have xfinity at home , can I buy this and set it up to boost the internet going faster ?

Asked 5 years ago by Meeks.

• A:Answer No. Speed is controlled by the connection coming in and the cable modem they provide. A WiFi extender will boost signal, not speed. You need to cough up the coins to get faster speed.

Q: QuestionI have internet but my sons don’t get it in there room will this be a good device to get the internet to there room

Asked 5 years ago by Coverage.

• A:Answer It's hard to answer exactly because I don't know what internet network equipment you have. You probably have a modem. If you attach this device to your modem with an ethernet cable (it's included), it can create a wireless internet signal, and your sons can access the internet on their computers and devices through that wifi signal. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionI have fiber internet and stream a lot of shows and sometimes it buffers, will getting a dual band router resolve my buffering issues?

Asked 5 years ago by disappointed.

• A:Answer Fiber is already very fast, during the pandemic everyone and his dog is on the net at once so slow service is part of what’s going on. Number of users streaming at same time will kill your speed as well. The fact the nets held up as well as it has has impressed me greatly. Your box is probably from fios, (Verizon) and I believe their modem/WiFi boxes are dual band as Comcast’s are as well. Unless your current unit only has 2.5 low band ,adding the 5.0 high band Will let more data packets through and could help but I doubt you will see much improvement at this time.

Q: QuestionI do not have any internet nor do I have a router, would i need one to go online with this?

Asked 5 years ago by Chrissy.

• A:Answer If you have no internet you don’t need a WiFi. If you hook up with any major internet provider you will get a combination modem/router for service. If they only give you a modem you will then need a WiFi if you want to connect devices wirelessly.
