User questions & answers

Question:	Well this work with being next to the connected router/modem to increase internet connection anywhere in the house
Answer:	I didn't need anything to install the driver. I just built my desktop so I didn't have an optical drive yet. just plugged it in and it just worked.
Question:	Does the Ethernet cable come with it
Answer:	*The standard rates - 867Mbps, 300Mbps, 54Mbps, and 11Mbps--arethe physical data rates. Actual data throughput will be lower and maydepend on the mix of wireless products used. This is from Belkin's site. Of course that is theoretical and if you are using 5Ghz it should be faster than if you are using 2.4.I just bought one of these for under $12 plus $4.99 shipping here on Amazon. It was about $5 earlier in the day and has continued to rise in price as the day went by. Always stating "only 1 more in stock" so after one is purchased it goes up in price for the next buyer. Currently at $25. Just thought I would mention that as it is a significant issue
Question:	I really don't need a Router for WiFi as much as I need one for up to 3 Desktop Computers. Is this one compatible for that purpose
Answer:	Nope--only Lan ports
Question:	Is the ac1200 a plug-n-play in the same manner as the n450 or will i be required to configure my network
Answer:	Yes. It needs a base modem, after it will able to distribute to other devices

User questions & answers

Question:	do i have to worry about my cpap machine causing interference with this one

Question:	will this support 150 mbps download
Answer:	Yes it will work with any operating system. I can acess the system settings from my Windows 10 laptop. I connect my computer, Hopper3, amazon fire tv, android tablets and phones and Iphones and iPad.
Question:	Is this compatible with Spectrum
Answer:	Yes I believe that they do
Question:	Will this work with Windows
Answer:	I used this cable to connect the digital coax output of a Sony DVD player to the digital coax input of a Peachtree Preamp which feeds the DAC in the preamp, bypassing the DAC in the DVD player. It is not used as a speaker cable in my system. I would guess that it is never used as a speaker cable, but I know nothing about a vizio soundbar and what its connectors are supposed to be. Can you find a manual online that that explains how you are supposed to hook up your soundbar?

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this easy to set up for someone who isn’t tech savvy? Needed only for doorbell camera for grandparents who don’t have a computer
Answer:	The security gateway is intended to integrate with the UniFi platform and the integration is solid but still a little limited feature wise still. Administration of the gateway is literally done through UniFi; you don't really access the gateway directly. The EdgeRouters are their own standalone platform, development and web based options are farther along but no UniFi development. If you have a heavily Ubiquiti based network and want everything talking to each other, the security gateway is better. If you want to treat your router as a router and nothing more, the EdgeRouter line makes more sense.
Question:	Which is the better buy: tp-link ac1900 or ac2600 - and why? (i'm not real hip to routers
Answer:	The ability to use the VoIP port as a second WAN has been added to the latest controller software. The feature itself is currently in beta but seems to work in limited testing
Question:	How does this archer a9 differ from the archer c
Answer:	Yes, you can set it up in bridge mode.
Question:	What is the coverage range
Answer:	I use an Edgerouter (ER-POE5). I also use some products out of the Unifi line, like the Unifi Access Points with the Unifi Controller software installed on a Raspberry Pi. I don't specifically use the Unifi Security Gateway. I would say the main difference though is the way you manage the product. My EdgeRouter is more or less "standalone managed". It has a console port you can connect to, or you can manage it via the built in web interface, or you can SSH into it and use the CLI. Honestly, I really like the EdgeRouter because it does everything I need it to do very easily. It is capable of higher traffic volumes than this security gateway (my model does 2+ million packets per second), and it has great features like DHCP, a built in firewall, QOS, DNS, etc. It's relatively straightforward to figure it out. But it doesn't integrate into the "Unifi Controller" for centralized management. And that's really the big sell when it comes to the Unifi Security Gateway. You can install a single controller, and use that to manage all your Unifi devices. I have that installed to manage two access points. It may be a bit overkill for that. But, if you are at a school with a bunch of access points and switches (Unifi switches can also be managed through controller), then then Unifi Security Gateway might be nice if you want just a "single pane of glass". I would just look through the feature list carefully for the USG, and if it has the features you need, and if you are going to be buying all your switches and APs from the Unifi line also, then go for it as it may simplify your life. If this is going to be your only Ubiquiti product, then I probably recommend a standalone EdgeRouter that you manage directly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with tplink archer vr600 ac
Answer:	While I have four range extenders accessing my router, I've not tried to daisy chain them. I suspect that, since the speed between the extender and the router is not as fast as just accessing the router from your computer, that daisy chaining them is possible but the signal might become slower the farther you are from the router...ie: accessing the farthest extender in the chain. Just a guess. I did find this: http://serverfault.com/questions/457569/setting-up-wifi-extenders-is-it-possible-to-daisy-chain-them

Question:	I set up this router and my speeds droped up to 20 mbps compared to my 9 year old apple airport extreme. are there any settings i need to change
Answer:	I didn't see any information in the manual about it being anything other than gen 1, but even then it didn't specify. However, if it was gen 2, they'd likely advertise that fact. So without any other evidence, I'd say gen 1.
