Hmmm...I'm just confused now. Kinda lost now. The ASUS I'm using is failing, I assume since I had to reset it 4 times now, and one port is no longer working. So your suggestion is, keep it? I don't do anything exotic, just Netflix, wife streams House Wives of Nigeria, the kid games for 26...

I have a FIOS router M1424-WR Rev F. from 5 years ago when the network was installed at my house. I'm using a ASUS RT-AC66U in between the FIOS router and my devices for better WIFI and to achieve 1GB bandwidth. I'm getting tired of the ASUS failing. In the past 7 months it needed a...

Too late already traded the thing in @ Amazon for $30. I need some guidance with the new ASUS router though - after logging in I see a Administration link with a tab labeled "Operation Mode." Within this tab is the option to turn the router into a Wireless router mode (Default), Access...

Thanks for the link - just finished setting up the ASUS AC66U as my new bridge.

Sometime during the early morning this router apparently died - lights were on but nobody was home, literally. I had it connected between my FIOS router and a QNAP NAS, with the Netgear providing most home networking. The FIOS router caps at 100mbs and I needed something that would allow the...

Got it working, finally. Plugged CAT 6 into another port on the Netgear and everything worked per thiggins instructions. Thanks!

I wanted to thank you for the very informative guides, but I give up. I rolled up my sleeves yesterday and believe it or not, spent almost 3 hours trying to access the Netgear router - not even close to making it an access point. I got in initially using the old credentials via a laptop not...

Not trying to be an idiot just want to make sure after the last part of your instructions is understood - when all is complete am I now connecting the AP to the LAN router (in this case my FIOS Actiontec) and then using the AP to connect the rest of the home network? So the FIOS router is...

DARN! Can I connect my previous router, the Netgear to the Actiontec and use its gigabyte ports. Will this solve the bandwidth issue the Actiontec creates on its own?

We left Time Warner for Verizon and now have an Actiontec MI424WR. It is nice but with TW we used our own Netgear WNDR3700 that by default showed 1000 mbps in our QNAP TS-509 - now with FIOS we only get 100 mbps. I am confused because according to Actiontec...

Does this have a guest zone like the Netgears?

Update Apparently QNAP is short staffed or extremely overwhelmed, hence the lack of communication. We finally got our TS-509 back with a new MOBO. After several attempts the same day I got through to tech support and was assisted with recovering our data and restoring the unit to a functional...

Thanks again for the explanation, and the connection from fiber is coax. Darn.

No, no, no, I apologize - the work is taken home where I have a TS-259. We have, or had until it broke, a TS-509 at work, which I do not need to access. Just wanted to make sure what you mentioned about opening ports was not referring to my at-home TS-259. So to clarify, if I get the Netgear...

Thanks Tim. I read something about MOCA and wanted to make sure I was not going to dump $150 on a router I could not use. On that same note, I take some work home so I have a QNAP TS-259. Is this what you were referring to for "open ports?"
