    Modem-router won't assign addresses; attached router will

    Just got fiber optic. Nice. The Huawei HG8245h modem-router given me by the ISP has four LAN ports. (1) I hooked my desktop up to LAN1 of Huawei modem-router. Worked fine. Good ethernet connection, pretty good wifi from Huawei modem-router. (2) To see if I could get better wifi, I hooked up...

    Need New Router

    The Airport Extreme and the Amped Wireless have been the two routers that have worked best for me over the past few years. The Airport Extreme has been exceptionally solid for me; high throughput, never a disconnection. And the Amped Wireless people have unparalleled customer service. For me...

    Best way to extend wireless (No wires)

    I've been very pleased with the setup described just below. My problem is mainly horizontal range, though, not vertical, so I've got two range extenders on either side of the router, about 30-40 feet away.

    RT-N66R? What's this?

    I've been reading about the RT-N66U for several months, but just today I ran across the RT-N66R. I can't see a difference in the specs at the ASUS site. Does anybody have a clue? Thanks.

    What's the EA-N66R?

    I ran across this today when I was checking for a firmware update for my EA-N66. http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/EAN66R/#specifications I scanned the specs of the two devices and didn't see any obvious differences, but maybe there's something I missed. Is this a country- or...
