User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable and user friendly are the parental controls
Answer:	Just go into the HP printer’s Setup/Network config and set a manual IP - 192.168.4.60 - and be done. That will save AirPrint and other misery as well.
Question:	Is there a separate modem I can buy that supports spectrum telephone service? I want this mesh system but need a Modem that supports my phone service
Answer:	You need to purchase your own modem and register it with Comcast, then you can add these as your WiFi router and return the Comcast Gateway you have now. You will have to tell comcast that you are doing this, then you don't have to pay their rental fee. I have my own modem and router, have for years. It pays for itself to do it this way!
Question:	Will this sync and interface with tp-link omada systems
Answer:	I had an older NetGear extender (5 years or so, plugged into the wall, dual band). I just bought this to replace it and like it a lot better. It automatically finds the signals and keeps you going. My NG extender gave me a 2G and a 5G connection separately. So I had to constantly disconnect my WiFi on devices and choose the other when the connection was crappy or lost. No more of that!! My internet is one thing now and that's worth the price of admission. Also, love love the app so that I can actually see all devices using it. And the security updates are great since I'm working from home now and have to use company programs.
Question:	I just installed this and apple is indicating wpa/wpa2 (tkip) is not considered secure. how can i configure this to wpa2 (aes) or wpa3 security type
Answer:	The bacons have to have a power source. If it is too hot, the bacons will be too hot and crispy. We found it better to do the bacons in our oven rather than plug them in. Try it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with MS Windows
Answer:	Placement of the router is key, the center of the house would be best. That being said, mine is upstairs close to center of 2700 sf home, and get pretty good signal. 5G is a little lacking at the furthest points, but works.
Question:	Will this work with TP Link one mesh
Answer:	I have had the N900 for almost 2 and a half years and I am finding the limitation is really the number of devices and the amount of data it can handle. I am streaming HD content to 2 Xbox360's and 3 streams from an HD Home Run Prime Cable card tuner. I had to put both Xbox360's on the wired Ethernet because the wireless could not handle it. That is why I am looking at the AC68u.
Question:	Will this work with Verizon router + modem combo
Answer:	If I go to Asus website, you can pull up the specs for each. See http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC68R/ and http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC68U/ respectively. Best to do this in separate windows to do a side-by-side comparison.Though almost everyone will tell you both units are exactly the same, except that one is sold online and the other retail, I would have to ask then, "Why are there differences in the specs?" You might have noticed the first difference is in the classification of each unit when you clicked on "Compare List" at the top of the webpage. The RT-AC68U is identified as a WiFi "Router", whereas the RT-AC68R is identified as a WiFi "Client". I'm no networking guru but the specific name classifications would suggest that they are different. The argument or statement that one is retail and the other online could simply be an easy way out for Asus techs to explain the difference. As one person noted in the Q&A section, they purchased a "U" version from Best buy - the vary store that everyone is saying is the exclusive seller of the "R" version. LoL.As you scroll down the comparison lists of each, it would appear that both units are up and up, the same. But, compare and scrutinize the specs carefully.1) Under "Data Rate" the AC68R says "802.11n: up to 600Mbps", whereas the AC68U indicates "802.11n: up to 450Mbps" as well as "802.11n TurboQAM: up to 600Mbps". The AC68R does not mention TurboQAM in the specs.2) Under "VPN Support" the AC68U lists Open VPN Server, PPTP Client, L2TP Client, and Open VPN Client, whereas the AC-68R does not list any of these. 3) A couple of days ago, as I compare the lists, the AC68U showed "86x64" after each of the Windows OS systems under the "OS Support" section but the AC68R did not. That seems to have been updated and removed from the AC68U spec list.4) Also, as mentioned by others elsewhere on amazon and other websites, the AC68U lists DLNA under Management Support. Or it did until a couple of days ago. That seems to have also been removed.So, if both units are reported to be the same, then why are there noted differences in specs as noted in Asus own website? Would like to have an Asus engineer chime in on this. I would suspect that the "U" and "R" actually denotes a different version of the same model, where in the "U" is a more updated version.Update:I posted the same write up above to the Asus Tech Support. This is the answer I received from a tech, via email:"Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service. My name is Joe and it is my pleasure to help you with your problem.Thank you for your question. They are same. But the firmware of them are different and could not be installed by each other. And any other things like hardware are all same. Welcome to refer Troubleshooting & FAQ for ASUS products in ASUS website: http://support.asus.com/servicehome.aspx?SLanguage=en"If anyone can derive justification to say one is an "online" version and the other is "retail (exclusive to Best Buy) based on the answer provided by Joe, I applaud you. I still think the "U" and the "R" denotes different release dates (hence different firmware as claimed by Joe) of the same or similar models, which would also explain differences in published specs. So which unit is the more recent release with the most recent firmware?
Question:	Can you bridge wifi and lan to use as a wifi card for lan only computers? router to router over wifi
Answer:	Bottom line: 2300 sq. ft. two story house. In downstairs kitchen prior Linksys model, best you could buy a little over a year ago, signal went in and out with the router upstairs on the other side of the house. This gives me 28.7 Mbps on wireless in the kitchen, same as a direct ethernet connection in the computer room. I am amazed!

Get Powerful Wi-Fi Where You Need It Most

Send high-performance Wi-Fi across your home to eliminate dead spots and lag with the RE650. The range extender's Wave 2 Wi-Fi technology includes 4-Stream and 256 QAM, which create ultra-fast AC2600 Wi-Fi for seamless gaming and 4K streaming in any room.

MU-MIMO lets the RE650 communicate with many devices at the same time to speed up connections, a feature amplified when the extender is paired with any MU-MIMO router. An Intelligent Processing Engine manages each Wi-Fi band and every connection without interruptions, and the RE650's quad-antenna design ensures a strong Wi-Fi signal where you need it most.

Powerful Wi-Fi for Incredible Performance

The RE650 deploys 4-Stream and 256 QAM technologies to create lightning-fast AC2600 connections. 4-Stream adds an extra data stream to both of the range extender's Wi-Fi bands, and 256 QAM expands the overall capacity of the dual bands.

With 4-Stream and 256 QAM working together, the RE650 can handle the demands of gaming at higher settings and streaming in 4K without buffering or lag hampering your online experience.

Intelligent Processing Engine for Wi-Fi Without Interruption

The RE650's Intelligent Processing Engine balances the demands of your devices to keep Wi-Fi connections fast and smooth. The engine sends Wi-Fi traffic to dedicated processors, leaving the extender's powerful dual-core CPU to take care of everything else.

With intelligent processing, you can game online, stream in 4K and download large files while your Wi-Fi remains fast and all your connections stay strong.

MU-MIMO for the Best Connections

Wave 2 Wi-Fi technology equips the RE650 with MU-MIMO, which lets the extender talk to several devices at once over the same Wi-Fi band. This simultaneous communication maximizes the performance of all your devices, even when they're running at the same time.

When paired with a router that also uses MU-MIMO technology, the RE650 delivers extended Wi-Fi that minimizes wait times and turbo-charges all of your Wi-Fi connections.

Quad-Antenna Design for Expansive Coverage

The RE650's powerful quad-antenna design boosts its Wi-Fi coverage to a phenomenal degree. Four high-powered antennas minimize coverage dead spots and create strong, reliable Wi-Fi connections with devices in the farthest corners of your home.

Beamforming technology makes the RE650's already impressive coverage even better. With Beamforming, the RE650 can detect the direction of its Wi-Fi connections and focus its wireless signal towards them, helping strengthen your home's overall Wi-Fi performance.

Wireless Bridge and AP Modes

Connect wired devices like game consoles and smart TVs to your Wi-Fi for blazing performance with the Gigabit Ethernet port. To create even stronger Wi-Fi coverage, connect the extender directly to your router via Ethernet and switch over to Access Point mode.

Easy Setup and Universal Compatibility

An LED lights up red where Wi-Fi is weak and blue where it’s strong to help you find the perfect setup spot, and the extender is easy to move so you can enjoy strong Wi-Fi wherever you need it. You can also connect the extender to any Wi-Fi router, access point or modem router.

Intuitive Interface

Set up and manage your Wi-Fi with the TP-Link Tether app (Android, iOS). Tether allows quick access to settings such as guest privileges, scheduling and device management. An intuitive web UI helps you keep your network up to date by downloading the latest firmware, and the extender alerts you when critical updates are available.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this modem work with COX
Answer:	Most like they were out of stock and didn’t tell you
Question:	Does this work with Wideopenwest
Answer:	Hi you cannot replace it with this TP-Link AC1750 because this is not a cable router. I have my Verizon cable router connected to the TP-Link AC1750 and it works perfect. Now I have wifi coverage all over my house. My Verizon router didn't cover all of my house. With the TP-Link AC1750, I don't lose any speed when I am far away from the router like my Verizon router would. Through Verizon I have 100mps up and down but when I am in the farthest part of my house, I only get about 5 to 10mps. With the TP-Link AC1750, I am getting 100mps all over.
Question:	Is there a way to use this and still get my telephone from TWC
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Does it work with comcast
Answer:	Don’t think so. Router WAN connections to a modem are wired connections using an ethernet cable/connection.
