This has been able to handle our needs for wifi on both levels in our house. We have 5 devices that we use off it without any issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This modem/router, like almost all of them, can theoretically handle up to 255 devices... Most folks don't get to double-digits. This is an 802.11N Wi-Fi device, and the "N" means that it is one generation old already. "AC" is the new standard. If coverage is an issue, you might want to buy a newer product, though I still have not seen an integrated cable Modem/Router with AC Wi-Fi yet. For an 802.11N product, this one provides good coverage, though you get what you pay for...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have 2000 sq ft and about 8 devices. Signal good all through house but upgraded to have faster speed. Used N300 about 3 yrs and no issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Good for a house under 3000 square feet and we use up to six devices at once with no problems.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Asking the range of a wireless access point is kind of a loaded question. The wireless signal strength is router antenna gain + router transmit power + end point (computer) antenna gain - path loss. Path loss is tricky, because you lose some amount of signal just traveling in the air, called free space path loss, and you have varying amounts of loss through different materials (wood, concrete block, drywall, etc). Then will that signal strength work is dependent on the signal to noise ratio (SNR), and the receiver sensitivity of the devices. Usually, the limiting factor is the transmit power from the end device (computer, tablet, etc) to the router, because these typically have low gain antennas and lower transmit power than the wifi router. Be it 802.11n or ac, makes no difference to the RF loss. So, you get no more range out of ac than you do an n router.. The difference is what throughput you get at a given signal strength. To this, of course ac gets more throughput at any given signal strength.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Works slow compared to other modem routers. I was connected to 3 devices and it was slow. Also very cheaply made
