This device is a range extender - not a router. It will not improve the upload/download speeds of your existing router, and is not intended to do that. Think of this device as similar to an outlet strip or extension cord - it only allows you to connect additional devices or devices that are not within reach of the existing electrical outlet. It will not improve the performance of your existing system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will only give you more ways to connect to the internet, but it has to use a Wi-Fi signal that is already connected to the internet. If you want to have faster speeds wirelessly you need to get a better router. I recommend using a Netgear AC router. They can run really fast and farther distance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are other issues that you should make sure aren't causing the slow download speeds. 1. does your modem support the advertised speeds from TWC? If not, time to get a new modem. You can purchase your own and save money in the long run. Be sure to check your ISP's website for supported modem models that support the advertised speeds. 2. How far away are your devices from the router? The further they are, the more degraded the speeds will be. If they are wired, make sure you use quality cables. 3. is your current router up to date? Sometimes a firmware upgrade can help. Get one of your tech savvy friends to help you with that. 4. Did you change the default settings? If not, you should! someone else could be using your bandwidth. 5. Change the channel that your router is using. If there's lots of nearby wifi, that could help. Again, get your tech savvy friend to help you. To answer your question, NO, this isnt too powerful. It's probably unnecessary though. A new wireless router, not an extender is what you're looking for.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, this extender is very fast. Especially when connected with 5Gh.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For me extra power is not ever a problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. the NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Dual-Band Range Extender with 4-Port Ethernet Switch is a wifi signal extender. To get faster download speeds, you need a more powerful router. Look at the Netgear N750 series router. It delivers faster download speeds for a good price.
I would recommend:
