A:AnswerThis router would connect up to an existing modem for your cable, fiber, or DSL internet service provider. If you are looking to replace the modem and router, you would need a modem and router combo unit, or you would need to replace both the modem and the router. The type of modem you would need would be dependent on the type of internet service that you have.
A:AnswerFIOS requires a proprietary gateway, which will most likely include routing functions. You can hook your router up behind their unit so you control your personal network (LAN) before it connects to theirs (WAN), or you can use this as an access point, letting their unit do the routing while this simply provides the high-speed wireless AC connection to your home.
A:AnswerI currently use a Samsung Bluray player to stream all of my media from my PC and internet. Before the nighthawk everything buffered and loaded endlessly. We are currently sporting AT&T U-Verse, so you wouldn't think we would have a problem. After setting up my nighthawk and using QoS, I connected the same Samsung Bluray player, and tried to stream a 31GB media file from my computer... and guess what... not a single buffer or hiccup. I switched to Netflix and Amazon... again no buffering and no extensive loading. The router has made a tremendous improvement on all of my non-AC devices. I would go for any N device with this router, but having AC is a world of a difference. You would be happy with either N or AC capable media devices with this router.
A:AnswerYes but if that is the case then there might be more economical solutions for your business environment that don't have all the bells and whistles of this beauty here. It is one of the few handful of routers that has been given Nvidia's seal of approval for its game-streaming technology for its shield tablets. This beauty was made to make your network share nicely.
A:AnswerWhat I did was to plug my wi-fi router into a regular 110v timer "Like you would use for Christmas Lights". Set the timer to turn off at an early morning hours & then turn the power back on about 10 minutes later. Works great, it will do this every night while your gone. Power timer cost about five bucks. Cheap and easy!
A:AnswerThis router will cover large areas with no problem. I installed mine in our detached garage which was approximately 20 yards from the house. It provided plenty of coverage even though it wasn't physically located in the house.
A:AnswerYes. I have about 3,000 square feet in two floors and a basement. Verizon installed their latest ONT in my basement utility room two weeks ago. To simplify the setup, I put the router in the basement near the ONT. Placed there, its signal reaches every corner of the house. Eventually, I'll probably move the router to the first floor, which seems more ideal, but it works well as is.
A:AnswerYes, it will.
1. Unplug thin black power cable. Wait 1 minute then plug back in.
2. From Netgear Nighthawk box, get the yellow ethernet cable. Plug one end into Verizon modem and other end into yellow port on back.
A:AnswerUnfortunately without an active service provider this will do you no good. The nighthawk as well any other router has to be connected to a cable or dsl modem.
A:AnswerA router does not replace your internet bill, it works as a tool to get better internet and wifi reception. If your wifi goes out, that is because you either have a bad router, bad signal, or a bad internet service provider. This is a very powerful wifi projector, and awesome router, but check your internet service provider online to see if they have frequent outages First, before spending the money. It could just be them.
A:AnswerYes I have Xfinity internet and tv but my router is brand new and drops WiFi almost daily. Am trying to work with Netgear tech support for a fix. Not happy.
