• A:Answer Your router location could mean everything. I have a garage 100 ft. from my house with an Orbi satellite in it and still get speeds well over 400. Id think this would easily solve your problems.

Q: QuestionWill this router work with a Centrylink modem? And do I need a router? We have Wi-Fi, is the router more for range and security?

Asked 3 years ago by PK.

• A:Answer I'd say more for speed and range. Security is only as good as your password in routers cases. If you have children you may also like the nanny options

Q: Questionwill this NETGEAR - Orbi AX4200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (2-pack) - White work out of the box with AT&T modem/router if AT&T enables "bridge mode"?

Asked 3 years ago by rasg.

• A:Answer No bridge mode on ATT router. Open wifi config and place Orbi router (identified by mac address) into DMZ+ mode and then just attach to router and turn off ATT wifi. This one will take over.

Q: QuestionWill this work with AT&T U-Verse system with a router/modem?

Asked 3 years ago by Jeff.

• A:Answer We have ATT DirecTV which may or may not be the same modem/router type. But if there is a spare internet jack off the modem, take the spare Internet port off the modem to feed the Orbi system and try it. In our home we still see the ATT router SSID but simply do not utilize it for our wireless needs.

Q: QuestionShould I purchase a better Ethernet cable than what is provided to connect from router to modem?

Asked 4 years ago by Lc121975.

• A:Answer Issue of wifi cutout that were occurring regularly, sometimes more than once a day, stopped immediately. I was very skeptical on how much this might help. We were willing to upgrade our broad band and many more monthly costly solutions. It turned out that once we replaced our least expensive Linksys system with this new system, the problems stopped. Not an exaggeration, sadly. As the Visa commercial said once, that was priceless.

Q: QuestionI just bought this unit and now my august connect unit that goes to my august smart lock will not stay connected to the wifi the mesh unit provides. Has anyone had issues getting your august lock and connect unit to stay connected to this wifi system?

Asked 4 years ago by patrick.

• A:Answer Not having that device puts me at a disadvantage. Have you tried labeling your smart lock as “always on” in the Orbi setup?
