Q: QuestionWill this work with radio wire

Asked 5 years ago by Dj.

• A:Answer I am not sure I understand your question. The unit comes with a yellow cable, specific type connector (looks like overgrown telephone connector) for use between the router and the modem. This specific type cable is also used between the computer and the router. I have not seen radio wire with this type connector. Sorry can't be more helpful.

Q: QuestionCan you physically turn off the WiFi feature and use it wired? (Back of the unit shows "on/off" but I'm not sure if that's simply to show if the WiFi is working.) Thanks for your help.

Asked 5 years ago by YeOldeLuddite.

• A:Answer Yes on most routers you can affect the WIFI feature , put in some ridiculously long password for the WIFI , disable guest wifi, Hide the SSID name of the WIFI Turn off 5ghz . Router uses the same electricity with WIFI or without WIFI. If you have a COMBO Modem / router from your provider and need more wired connections , buy a 5 port Giga switch instead and hook it to the Provider combo modem/router then add wires to your devices , eliminate the WIFI altogether. 5 port switches are cheaper than router .. NOTE : Make sure you have a Combo Modem router before you buy a switch. A switch will only work if there is a device that is capable of issuing network addresses (DHCP) which is what a router does and provides the NAT to translate your laptop (example ) network address in your home to the provider network address on the other side of your modem/.router.

Q: QuestionIs this protected from hackers?

Asked 5 years ago by Piecemaker.

• A:Answer Sorry but not even the US government or fortune 500 companies are protected from hackers. This router has advanced features that should improve your situation but there are few obstacles a determined hacker cannot overcome. Upgrading your router is a wise thing to do unfortunately nothing can guaranty complete protection from hackers.

Q: QuestionI'm not a gamer, but need a router in my 2nd floor office to support a Roku device in my basement and back porch. What strength/model router should I get?

Asked 5 years ago by BobZ.

• A:Answer My understanding is that a Wi-Fi signal travels upwards better than it does going downwards. I know a little more than most folks but I don't consider myself an expert. I'm just another user/customer like everyone else except for the fact that I purchased my first computer before Microsoft and Windows even existed. You may want too seek a second opinion because my recommendation is to try moving your router to a location lower to the ground floor so the signal travels upwards to your devices. If that's not possible then I'll tell you that I did solve a similar situation by installing Netgear's Night Hawk router on the upper floor. It provided downstairs coverage in a home with concrete interior walls that blocked the signal coming from the equipment the internet provder installed. It was a major improvement that even allowed access outside.

Q: QuestionHow the bleep do I set this up when I can't download the app? My stupid MS computer says I can't download anything from the Google Play store. My phone won't downoad it either as it is just basically a phone. Why does everything these days need an app??

Asked 5 years ago by Frustrated.

• A:Answer I have shared your frustration, since you posted 2 mos ago, I am assuming you have solved this. However, for the many others reading your question, I will post this answer. I made a telephone call to Netgear support. It took 3 techs before problem resolved. One tech used remote app to access my computer and do all the necessary things to get me up and running. I felt, and still do feel, that this could me made easier. However, Netgear support came through in the end.
