    Thanks Folks!

    I received excellent advice here on upgrading my home network and wanted to say a big THANKS! I got my new Arris SB8200 modem a couple of days ago and the Asus AC86U today. The setup was simple, I cloned my old network credentials and boom - it's blazing! I was a bit hesitant not going with a...

    To Clone or Not To Clone...

    So, based on excellent info gotten here, I have a new modem and new router on the way. Last question: since I have good SSID's with strong passwords in place on my home network, is it best to simply clone the old router info so that everything automagically works from the start, or is it better...

    Arris SB8200 Modem Question...

    So, with the insights from another thread regarding replacing my old Asus N66U router, I started my upgrade effort by purchasing a new modem, then I'll buy the router. My old Surfboard modem is 7 years old. I called my ISP (Comcast) to provision my new Arris SB8200 modem today and that's when...

    N66U Finally Getting Upgraded!

    N66U Finally Getting Upgraded!

    Val D: I did some research but did not find anything on the soft reboot issue. Also, I intend to run the stock firmware. Any additional insights are certainly welcome. Thanks!

    N66U Finally Getting Upgraded!

    N66U Finally Getting Upgraded!

    Thanks guys! I can get the AC86U new on eBay for about $140 and the Netgear 7800 is the same price point. There seems to be so much support for buying the AC86U here on this forum. I may just wait for Wifi6 to become more affordable and pick up an AC86U now. I am sure it'll be an improvement...

    N66U Finally Getting Upgraded!

    I've had my N66U since the early days of that product, paired with an old SurfBoard modem. With a 300mbs line, I get about 200mbs on 5mgh within 6 feet, average is probably 80-100mbs on most of level above the basement and maybe 50mgh on the top level, falling off to 0mbs at the other end of...

    Upgrading from Linksys E2500

    Thanks for the education Pete! I am using an old Dell laptop (like 8 years old) at home and I bet it's got a limited bandwidth adapter, therefore the 20-30mbs makes sense. I have a Chromebook coming tomorrow, and I've combed through the specs and I don't see the speed of the wireless...

    Upgrading from Linksys E2500

    I purchased a Linksys e2500 back in 2011 and have always found the wireless performance and range to be somewhat disappointing. I recently updated the firmware and placed the e2500 in a more central location, which has helped a bit. I know that every environment is different, but the best I...

    Getting the Best From What I've Got...

    Will do. In my last post, I indicated that I can't see how that network graphic is created. I don't see that function/capability when I click-through the tabs in teh NetGear app. Any insight on this would be appreciated. -bk
