I purchased Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 (model R7000). I am upgrading laptop wireless cards to AC technology. My only other problem is I don't think my printers have AC technology. Is there way to have both routers working - N66U for printers & AC1900 for everything else?

If I upgraded wireless card to dual band usb wireless network adapter (5 GHz capability) because I will likely upgrade laptop in next year and don't want to mess with installing new internal wireless card. What could I expect to get Mbps up to? According to Asus specs its capable of 450 Mbps for...

Dell laptop uses Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 (but weirdly only supports single band 2.4 GHZ even though it shows Radio Devices Supports of 802.11n, 802.11b, 802.11g in cmd command). Distance is 18 feet thru 1 wall.

Hello, Just upgraded Comcast to Blast (250 Mbps download speed capability). Below are speed test results (ethernet vs wireless connection). Connected ethernet to Asus router: 249.9 Mbps download speeds Connected wireless to Asus router: 30.9 Mbps (download) That is a significant decline in...

sinshiva, Are you referring to something like this: http://youtu.be/91BW4v2h1FU If so couldn't someone just use external hard drive (uncompressed ISO files) and plug it into WD TV play at fraction of cost? These NAS devices I am seeing are almost $1,000 dollars. Still not clear what the draw...

for life of me I can't figure out what the need is here for NAS but I keep reading about it so there is demand there. I have terabyte WD hard drive & Clickfree automatic back up drive that I used to back up everything from our computers. I ethernet streaming to roku 3 on 5 ghz band. What am I...

wouterv thanks for wealth of information. What happens when router does support DSF? do those signals interfer with doppler and military? I am surprised the US government hasn't made that law in that routers must support DSF.

thanks everyone who has replied. I plan on upgrading my laptop in spring. I don't know if this sounds silly but should I be getting wireless card that has IpV6 capability or will that be solely handled at router and I assume I would want wireless card n standard that can receive 5 ghz?

gotcha...its under control channel drop down. Mine was set to auto. thank you Real quick - is there a way to pinpoint what can be causing fluctuations in wireless strength? For example during my test on channel 1 two days ago, I was receiving link score of 78-80 and getting about 19 mbps on...

I have read owners manual for RT-N66U wireless router, read this board and looked everywhere in GUI and still can not find out how to change the channel for my networks uses. I downloaded inSSIDer and know which channels I want to test...but where in GUI do I actually change the channels?

Jim can you give exact process you use to clear nvram? are you pressing wps button and for how long? thank you

also I was able to find culprit for slow speed. When I run Shilds Up security check here: (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2) After running test on my 'file sharing' & 'common ports' my speeds go from 25 mbps to 5 mbps. It requires a reboot of router and computer. Just FYI for someone...

Roger, I purchased Roku 3 which included ethernet and dual band capability. Will upgrade laptop in april (will look for wireless card that can receive 5 ghz but might just wire that device also). Logistically maybe its: wire within 3 feet or less, 5 ghz for 3 to 6 feet, 2.5 ghz for rest. I...

I rebooted laptop and wireless router and higher speeds have returned. Is there a way to change wireless channel of my network in asus control panel or do I need to purchase inSSIDer for $20.

I purchased the Roku 1 before I decided to upgrade router & modem. It does not have ethernet cable. I doubt it has 5 ghz capabilities but heard netflix doesn't require high download speeds to get video. Also, Yesterday my ethernet & wireless speeds where around 26-28 mbps. Today my wireless...
