Q: QuestionWill this reach a detached garage that's about 50 ft away? If not, what would you recommend? Ty

Asked 5 years ago by Kellylee.

• A:Answer Not sure about 50ft Away. I have been able to receive a good Wi Fi reception almost full reception up to 40ft away with 5Ghz connection on my cell phone. I needed 40ft to use my cell phone to turn on/off smart sprinkler timer instead of running back and forth to timer or the sprinkler valves in my back yard.

Q: QuestionCan I use this router with a Motorola MG7315 Cable modem/router?

Asked 5 years ago by NPRAKS.

• A:Answer This will work with any modem, as this is a router. It takes your one line in to cable modem and allows for multiple connections through wifi or ethernet wired connection. Think of a router as a cable splitter

Q: QuestionThe router would be placed on the main floor of a 1,700 square foot house. But it will need to communicate with a second computer that is in the basement, about 30 feet away with a floor and wall between. Is that a suitable use?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Possibly. Do you have a current router? If so, what type & how well does it work? What does this particular router add that your old one lacks? Our solution to reach from main floor to basement was to add a Range Extender. Find an extender that supports both 2.4 & 5GHz, with the ability to use one of the bands as a "back haul" channel. Ours is an older Linksys, but works perfectly well with 2 running computers & a Roku in the basement - with a few odd minutes of smartphone connectivity tossed in for good measure. MUCH less expensive than a "mesh" system.

Q: QuestionWill the signal be well in a 2 story 2500 sq ft home with it being located in a corner on the 1st floor

Asked 5 years ago by DABED.

• A:Answer 2500 sq ft would most likely be the max theoretical distance you should expect. Remember that your WiFi is essentially going to broadcast from the center of the antenna array and is only partially directional so placing it in the corner of the bottom floor of your home is less than ideal. Unless you can place this in the center of your home, you might be better suited using a mesh system.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System (1 eero + 2 eero Beacons), 2nd Generation - White

    User rating, 4.75 out of 5 stars with 1920 reviews.

Q: QuestionWill this improve the very low download speeds from a satellite internet provider (Hughesnet) and is it compatible with the Hughesnet-provided modem HT2010W?

Asked 3 years ago by HughesnetConnect.

• A:Answer This router will operate at suoerfast gigabit speeds however it will not connect any faster than can be achieved with your modem itself. So this router would not be the limiting factor but your internet service provider.

Q: QuestionWhich Netgear Router is compatible with Verizon Fios Service?

Asked 4 years ago by Machevelli.

• A:Answer If you are with recently installed FIOS, its ONT internet output is Ethernet RJ45 connector, any Netgear router is good to be used with FIOS internet. Older version of FIOS ONT (installed long time ago) output for internet could be COAX connector of which not likely supported by Netgear router.

Q: QuestionIs this wireless after setup or does it need to be plugged into my modem?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Q: "Is this wireless after setup or does it need to be plugged into my modem?" A: Yes - and (almost certainly...) Yes - assuming you want to use it to access the Internet. I suppose you could use it WITHOUT internet access - strictly as an Internal wireless LAN - in which case connection to a modem would not be required. Ex: if our Modem goes down (or we unplug it), our internal wireless connections remain active (as long as they receive electricity) so we can still transfer files and/or send print jobs.

Q: QuestionHow come it only handles 25 devices? I’ve seen less expensive routers that say they can handle over 100. What happens if I connect over 25 devices?

Asked 5 years ago by Mike.

• A:Answer There is no limit. The more clients could slow down the routers data transfer speeds.
