    Switching to FiOS... Have some questions...

    Hello all, I'm preparing to switch to FiOS and while I'm technically decent at setting up internal networks on DOCSIS 3.0 with Time Warner (I have my own modem and 3 Netgear r7000's all working great) (2 of the r7000's are access points) I have read a ton of stuff online about how I must use...

    Major Network Upgrading, Would Appreicate Advice

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, the majority of the clients are handheld on wireless but I do have 3 Xbox 360's and 2 PS3's running wireless as well. They are not all on at the same time though. Maximum ever on at the same time is 4 out of the 5 but most of the time it is just 3 or 2. 2.4Ghz is...

    Major Network Upgrading, Would Appreicate Advice

    One Last Question I Forgot Would I get better performance by keeping the 3700's in place just for 2.4ghz AP's and using the R7000's as 5Ghz AP's or should I just remove all the wndr's entirely and run 2.4 and 5 at the same time on the R7000's? Thanks again for any input!

    Major Network Upgrading, Would Appreicate Advice

    Hello All, I have purchased a bunch of new hardware for my home network and would appreciate any advice I can get. I have 3 r7000's to deploy along with a new cable modem (cable modem is already in place). I am replacing 3 wndr3700's which have been rock solid for many years with the 3...

    Tangible difference between 2x2 and 3x3 AP?

    My guess would be that throughput might increase very slightly as distance does not seem to be increased by increasing the amount of antenna but having an extra antenna to help balance the load better would result in less packet drops and a bit more stable connection where the connections seemed...

    Is it possible to get the lan ports to work in a wireless router reconfigured as AP?

    Sorry, even reading my own response seems confusing to me, LOL. What I was trying to say is that I thought since my AP is receiving its signal from the Main router via a LAN port to LAN port ethernet connection and the WAN port is unused in my AP that my AP would not be able to take the incoming...

    Sorry, my fault then. I assumed it didn't as I had exactly the same problem as the gentleman I responded to , and once I switched to connection via N I had no difficulty at all. I learn something new here every day. I suppose there is a flaw between xbox 360 adapter chip and wndr chipset in...

    Is it possible to get the lan ports to work in a wireless router reconfigured as AP?

    Wow, thank you for the quick response. Really though? That's great. I thought for sure it wouldn't work unless I turned off my wireless radio. So you are saying that my main router will still assign a plugged in device a separate ip addy within the DHCP sever range in exactly the same manner as...

    Is it possible to get the lan ports to work in a wireless router reconfigured as AP?

    Hey all. I have a WNDR3700 has my main router and 2 more WNDR3700's used as wireless AP's on my network. Is it possible to hardwire a device in to the back of the AP's so that device can connect to the internet and if so what steps do I need to take or is there an article I can read that will...

    Tangible difference between 2x2 and 3x3 AP?

    I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong however I believe that theoretically in order for a 3x3 router to have any difference in speeds achieved on a connected client, the client must have a 3x3 card or adapter installed in it. If both have 3x3 the theoretical maximum throughput would be...

    NETGEAR WNDR3700 Reviewed

    The WNDR3700 does not broadcast in 802.11a so I do not believe you can connect this way... However, if you get the new Microsoft wireless adapter that is black and has 2 antennae on it you can connect using 5ghz 802.11n. This is how mine is set up and it works wonderfully. I get great speeds and...

    tim, this may seem like a stupid question, but I can not get the stand to attach to this router. Is there some sort of trick to this? I have tried every combination of flipping the stand around and trying to get it to attach so I can stand the router uo but I feel so stupid that I can't figure...

    turn off g compatibility with only n clients?

    I plan to have all my n clients access my n gateway and all my g clients will be on the same network connecting through a g access point. I will set gateway to channel 11 and AP to channel 1. I have no b clients at all so my question is..... Should I set my gateway / Router to associate with...

    Tim, is this just a netgear thing or would I need to enable WMM on other routers as well to ensure use of 40mhz channels?

    A few questions from a new guy..

    You just confirmed it for me perfectly. I believe I confused you by giving you my current configuration in one post and the configuration I am switching too next week in another post. I'm sorry if I caused you confusion and I thank you very much for your explanations and helpfulness. Once I...
