A:AnswerIt is a wireless router. If you have Xfinity internet through a compatible cable modem, you can connect this router to your cable modem and get wifi/lan through this router. You cannot use this router to connect to Xfinity internet without a cable modem.
A:AnswerHooking other routers up to this router would allow faster Through a cable since it can handle it. It would also allow you have stronger WiFi throughout the house if all the router have WiFi signal capability. This is what I am using mine for. It is allowing me to use WiFi from this router upstairs in my house and a separate WiFi signal for a basement and 1st floor of my house. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerNo. Dual-band refers to this router having a 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz frequency. The 2.4Ghz signal reaches further but is over crowded, whereas the 5.0Ghz isn't as crowded but doesn't reach as far for the signal.
A:AnswerAny router that is AX____ is a WiFi 6 router. The difference between the AX1800 and the AX5200 is the theoretical max speed you can reach for 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz frequency, with the AX5200 having almost 3 times higher theoretical speeds than the AX1800.
A:AnswerYes, WiFi 6 is simply a new format; any devices that are WiFi 6 capable will use it, but all devices will see the benefits of this great router
A:AnswerIf you search “Spectrum compatible cable modems” you will get a list of Netgear and other brand modems that work with Spectrum cable. I have an Arris Surfboard and use that with this router.
A:AnswerReally? I think American's are getting pretty dumb. I cringe reading these only because I have to associate with the "outside world" and not laugh.
Do you need a company for your cell phone? Of course not. You probably just walk around wondering what's going on, hoping that somebody is listening.Where do you idiots go to school, Florida? Texas? Asking on a darn Best Buy site? Then why can't you just type a search in Bing, and find out your own answers? There's tons of information out there... obviously! If you're too lazy, well that does explain the current American problem-- we're too lazy, and self absorbed in our social media, #'s and selfies to actually investigate, and research and communicate with each other and be sensible responsible community oriented people that have heads on their shoulders and are capable of doing anything for themselves (inclusive of paying taxes.... yeah, I said it... that's what gives us the ability to have a country and be a part of this insanity together instead of living in a state oif insecurity without services, running water, safety, or the constructs provided in this country) Instead, we walk around in stupor's dazed and gazing non-stop at phone's which keep us boxed in to technobabble and whatever koolaid is being consumed in states that went believe in the Big Lie... (psssst.... he lied, you know it, and backing him and any associated with the group calling themselves "republicans" but in reality fascists since they aren't CLEARLY following, understanding, caring or feeling remorse or care about the roots of this country and the generations of Americans that came here (our families) or anything other than power, greed and saving face in the eyes of the new red power party.... it's not caring about Americans or about the country. It's easier to hunker down with talking head actors espousing whatever is easy to absorb and makes us feel good and part of the community. (Thanks Fox News!!) Instead not coming up with a conspiracy theory and going rogue and storming the capital which is the most anti-american vile and unpatriotic act, or worse... continuing to vote along the lines of the red party. If he, and they, lie lie lie.... you think they aren't lying now? Hopefully, drinking bleach does kill corona. I think y'all should try that one again. If this question happened to come from a democrat you should probably wise up, do a little bit of research. There cannot be this many dummies in one country at the same time.... there's just not enough room.
A:AnswerIf your current wifi speed is good, rhere is no need to upgrade.The wifi 6 router is compatible with previous wifi standards.
If your PC is 4 years old, and you have not updated the wifi adaptor, then it will not be wifi 6. In the adaptor's properties, "AX" indicates wifi 6. Previous standard is indicated by "AC".
A:AnswerUsing technology as old as and AC1600 would not be ideal but yes, you could use it as an access point. I had a nighthawk R8000 (2yrs old) and my speeds decreased once it was set up as an AP.
