    I had to go to my local AT&T store to update apps, updates for my I-phone etc. Now I can do all this in the comfort of my home office.

    This item came up when I sorted for router-modem combos and seemed to fit the criteria; maybe it's my fault I didn't read closely enough, but it is not a combo. I have yet to use it because I still require a router, so this review is mostly me warning anyone else that finds this under router-modem sets like I did. It's only a modem.

      Hi, Chantoutou,

      Aside from keeping the firmware up-to-date, we recommend assigning fixed channels to both frequency bands to achieve a stable Wi-Fi connection. Try channels 1, 6, 9 and 11 for the 2.4 GHz network, and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz. Update us how it goes at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this post. We'll have one of our Escalation Engineers improve your overall Wi-Fi experience.


      Regards,

      Jay

      Hi Thomas,

      We're glad to know that the set up went smoothly. The router should work with any modems that support an Ethernet type of connection. We would appreciate if you’ll tell us more about it at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can provide possible solutions. Please include your contact details and the link to this review.

      Regards,
