A:AnswerI think the answer about being an access point is incorrect. Other answers on the same subject apply. Both are good choices depending on how big your house is. Obviously the one with the better coverage would cost about $50.00 more (AC1900 is essentially the speed #) Model # is R7000 vs. the slightly slower AC1750 Model R6400. Processor is bigger on the R7000 & antennas are removable on the R7000 vs. non-removable on the R6400. I'm getting ready to by one or the other myself. Will use it with a CM400 Netgear Cable Modem. May have to go up to a Netgear CM600 Cable Model if I want to eventually go up to Ultimate on Cox internet.
A:AnswerIt will work with any carrier. Att WIFI probably uses a router so you would run it to this router through the cable and then hook it up. But if your ATT WIFI does already have a wireless router, then you might want to just go ahead and see if they can send you a more powerful router to go along with your service if you are having problems. But if you just want a stronger signal throughout the house then get this router and hard wire it from your router you already have and it should work. Best of luck to you
A:AnswerProbably not. Best bet, if the power to the guest house is feed from the mains of the residence is to look into Ethernet over power line, or bury a cable underground.
A:AnswerI would say yes. It has two bands meaning it basically emits two wifi signals. Now you are still at the mercy of your overall bandwidth, but I have found that I can log into one band with my phone or tablet and have the tv on the other and it doesn't seem to buffer as much as it did before I owned this router. Hope this helps.
