User questions & answers

Question:	Will it support surveillance cameras
Answer:	no. but it can be. I decide which wattage I want to use.
Question:	Hi, i have Verizon wifi box already its just slow. Will this device speed it up
Answer:	It works great for pressure cooking. I use mine all the time. I have the version that has 5 F degree increments. One thing we do is cook whole organic chicken for 10 hrs on high pressure at 205 degrees F (after the max pressure is reached) until the bones are able to be smushed. We just dig in to the whole "mess" and eat everything. My other cooktop has only increments of 30-40 degrees. That just doen't do for cooking many things that need precise temperatures. I can do those on the PIC. Be aware of this when shopping for cooktops. The timer function is GREAT when you want to do something long and slow.
Question:	Does it come with an app to manage your network from anywhere
Answer:	ALL of my cast iron le creuset pans work GREAT on this cooktop! what an energy/time/added-kitchen-heat saver! enjoy the combo!!i wouldn't recommend "scooting" the pan ANY cast iron pan across the cooking surface, just in case of rough spots on the pan that might damage the cooktop.special note: of course, the stoneware/bakeware won't work, but i'm sure that isn't your question.
Question:	I have a wifi provider and get only fair reception. it is not working with amazon fire. it just keeps streaming. will this help my connection
Answer:	Major difference between those 2 models is max power. NuWave PIC can go up to 1300W and NuWave PIC Pro High Powered can go up to 1800W. In practice it means that you will be able to cook "faster" with Pro High Powered model but in the same time you will need to make sure that the wiring for your kitchen outlet is 20A. If it is not the case you will face frequent pops of your fuse on this outlet or create fire hazard if installation is not done properly. Just as a safety precaution manufacturer equips this kind of devices with special plug that will not fit regular 15A outlet. It means you will not be able to use it in a lot of places where there is no 20A outlet. I personally own basic version and it is sufficient for my cooking needs. Nevertheless if you are power hungry you may look for 3000W Induction Cooktop from other makers. This kind of equipment will set you up for alteration of you kitchen wiring to 220V. In general it is not that difficult since the most american kitchen should be pre-wired for this possibility.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this backward compatible with velop AC1200 (vlp
Answer:	You do NOT. It's hidden how to access the router page directly without a phone, but you can do it. When you hit the IP address of the router, it will have a page to download the apps. Don't click the app buttons, but the picture of the phone instead. This will then take you to the normal setup page without the apps. Found this out during a call with tech support.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone measure the spacing between mounting holes on the back
Answer:	I have used several different Motorola Routers and I have one at my house that is 10 yrs old. The technology change will be the death of your router. Keep it on a surge protector and it should be good for at least 5 years. But you never know what will be developed that you have to have to increase the speed or capabilities. For what it is worth that is my opinion.
Question:	Does it work with frontier fios
Answer:	Model MR2600 is a much more advanced WiFi router than the 655. Range and speed experience can never really be predicted because of so many variables, including things such as obstruction, building materials, positioning of the router, neighbors usage, or even the time of day. However, one wireless router can give you a much better chance of better range and speed over another. In this case, model MR2600 advances your chances a great deal because it includes 4 antennas versus three and includes implicit and explicit beamforming which targets the WiFi signal to each WiFi client which helps with extended range and speed.
Question:	Are parental controls included, or least available to use with this router
Answer:	Model MR2600 will work behind a "modem" for Fios. Bearing in mind that this is a WiFi router only and not a gateway. Your existing device you have with Fios service is likely a device with a built in router. To use this external router instead, you will likely need to disable the built in WiFi router you have.
Question:	Does this router work with Verizon Verizon fios
Answer:	You can optimize the wireless in your router. Login to your router by opening a web browser and typing in the address field: 192.168.1.1 The default password is: motorola. Click WiFi > Advanced Settings. Under the 2.4 GHz, change WiFi Channel from "auto" to either 1, 6, or 11. (It may take a couple of tries before you find the right channel. Your neighbors are also using 2.4 GHz and that includes microwaves, baby monitors, blue tooth devices, car alarms, etc. Many interferences around you). Next, set the Channel Width to 20 MHz for the 2.4 GHz. Now go to the 5 GHz on the same page and change the WiFi channel from 'auto' to 161/80. Change the Channel Width to 20/40 MHz. Give it 24 hours and see if there has been an improvement. You can contact our Technical Support at 1-800-753-0797 (Monday-Friday 8:30am-10pm, Saturday 8:30am-5pm EST).

User questions & answers

Question:	How is this router with smart home devices like lights cameras and plug ins
Answer:	Nope, apple doesn't support wifi
Question:	Is this compatible with Comcast Xfinity
Answer:	Anything can be mounted to a wall. I have a modem held on with a thin bungee cord.
Question:	How will this router work with satellite internet
Answer:	The one I purchased was 110v and I don’t know if it can go to 240v. Hopefully someone knows. Good luck.
Question:	Does this router include a separate guest network
Answer:	Only if you have a 20Mbps Internet connection but hell even this should improve your network when utilized properly. It took me a while to get my set just right to where it is now just what i was looking for for ever now or at least since the now wan-aggregation times and my gigabit connection, Hopefully much more once DOCSIS 4.0 drops and that copper line you thought was good just for tv and good internet but far far from any inferior and now almost totally degraded useless tiny telephone type wire services. But that nice fat RG cable coming to your house will finally be utilized to a lot more of its potential like never before and then they say the sky is the limit or at least 6gbps easily with no modifications needed at the customers side other that more power full modems when available. And not just crazy download speeds like always no gamers finnally a simiular upload speed is also possible atleast at the 1gbps level and 2gbps i believe. !!!!!SO HERE IS THE REAL WARNING TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOU ARE AWARE OF AND DONT THINK THIS IS JOKE CONSPERASE OR FAKE NEWS!!!!!!! Keep a sharp eye out for data usuage packages or ways to grandfather with unlimited. I AM TELLING YOU KNOW SPEED PACKAGES ARE OVER AND OBSOLETE be ready for the new data wars They wanted and tried to tax it already believe me they want it the money i mean and any way they can of course. And if there is any thing I've learn in this tech field and hell more like the retail side there is this THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE BEST fastest WORMS (LONG TERM BEST PRICING PACKAGES) they might not always seem it but believe me you will kick yourself for not taking one that fill what u need for usage and mot change your bill to drasticaly from where it is

User questions & answers

Question:	Which router is being referred to when people ask questions about "this router?" There appear to be 4 different routers sharing this product listing
Answer:	The TL-WR802N supports 2.4GHz only. For dual band, 2.4GHz and 5GHz connectivity, we recommend our TL-WR902AC instead: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Travel-Router-TL-WR902AC/dp/B01N5RCZQH Regards, TP-Link Support
Question:	Is this router good with Macbooks
Answer:	I just received my ordered device. It is Model TL-WR902AC(US) Ver. 3.0
Question:	Can I connect a bunch of these together and use them as 1 single wifi network
Answer:	If your hotel has no WiFi password, and instead a third-party “connect” page that automatically loads when you connect to the WiFi, this can be used as a WISP Client to bypass this step for future device connections. This means in your hotel room, you can connect smart devices, Chromecast, smart lights, cameras, and more easily connect Alexa or Google home! A big “however,” WISP mode can only be used to repeat the WiFi signal from the hotel. It CANNOT be used to connect directly to an Ethernet port in your hotel room. This means it won’t be as fast as a direct connection, but I’ve had no troubles with the speed in this mode for streaming media and using smart devices. To use the WISP Client Router Mode, connect the Ethernet cable from the router to your computer (NOT an Ethernet port in your room) and connect the power cable to the router. Navigate to the TP-Link provided URL in your computers browser. Login using the provided credentials. In Quick Setup mode, you’ll see the option for WISP Client Router mode. In the next step, select Dynamic IP Address and hit next. In the following step, select your hotel’s WiFi (if there are multiple, choose the one with the strongest signal). You may be directed to the hotel’s third-party “connect” page at this time, in which case you will have to click connect as you usually do, but the router will retain this connection so the devices you connect to this router will not have to be directed to the connect page. If you are not directed to the “connect” page at that step, make sure to test out the connection after set up by connecting your computer to your new travel router’s WiFi and navigating to any website in your computer’s browser, using the “connect” page if you are directed there at this time.
Question:	Ea9500 what's the range like would it cover 20000 square feet
Answer:	TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Travel Router: Switch set to "Share Hotspot" Hotel has Wifi with a password. Once linked to hotel Wifi you have to open a web page that authenticates your device. Connecting the TP-link router: I connected to the router, scanned for wifi networks, selected hotel wifi network and entered the password. After connection I was not able to see the internet. I then connected to the TP-Link wifi from my phone and browsed a web page. I got authenticated onto the hotel wifi (now via TP-link) and was then able to connect other devices to the TP-link router. After I switched the TP-link off and back on again simulating what might happen while room gets cleaned it was not needed to connect to the TP-link and do the hotel web authentication again. I will monitor this over the next few days to see if any further information is needed for this discussion. I added my experience as I struggled a little to follow the previous suggestions. Thank you though to those that did respond as it got me on the right direction.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatible with Windows
Answer:	Yes it is compatible with Windows 10. I'm using Windows 10.
Question:	Is the power adaptor dual voltage? Does it accept 110v to 220v
Answer:	I don't see any adapter to make this compatible with 220v, but to be certain I'd contact Linksys directly (they many have a 220v version available) at http://www.linksys.com/us/support/
Question:	do you need a service to operate this router
Answer:	Technically, no you don't. You can set up any router to communicate with other computers or devices (think printers, scanners etc.) in your network. Now if you expect access to the internet, then yes you do need internet service.
Question:	What is everyone's thought on its firewall
Answer:	No question that unless you want to be able to tinker with the low-level and specifics yourself, it's absolutely the way to go! - but if you really are a "nuts & bolts" (hands-on) person that knows exactly what and how to do what you're asking, then perhaps you might want to look at the latest WRT series( WRT1900ACS) model instead? (http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT1900ACS-Dual-Band-Gigabit-Router/dp/B014MIBLSA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1458357368&sr=8-4) That would allow you to get right down to the bit by bit as far as how it handles every single thing from the firewall perspective, although of course to do so you have to understand (and not just understand but realize the implications thereof) exactly what you're able to do with that model, which just like previous WRT models allows you to get into the code and manage (as well as mangle) it yourself. "As always, your mileage WILL vary!" It's the difference between whether you wan it to work like 99% of people do, or if you're that 1% of the people out there that demands to be able to control every aspect of what exactly that firewall does, how it reacts to various stimulus, etc You _are_ trading off the Mu-MiMo feature for the 1.6GHz dual processor added horsepower as well as the ability to "roll your own" code for the firewall, or at least have the ability to augment the basics, and add functionality specific to your implementation. It also adds the "eSATA" port, slightly more specific (and assuming it's something you need, as in the ability to control an advanced NAS instead of a simply USB attached storage device). You can't do that with the dual (even though you have still have two - both USB 2 & USB 3.0 ports) on the EA7500 model. I hope I didn't go to "deep in the weeds" for you, but it's not possible to give a simple answer, if that was specifically where you were going with the question. For the 99%, this is the 'right' router, it's been a long time since I really needed to get down to the "nuts & bolts" you'd get out of the "Open Source Ready: Users gain unprecedented access to customize the router".

With my old G-router (rated at 54 Mbps), I did not realize I only got 7 Mbps wirelessly, so I wasn't taking advantage of the full speed from my ISP. With this new router at home, I only uses 2 computer/laptops at any given time, plus VoIP phone, and I have no problems with bandwidth.
Question:	Is the speed ok that I can use an x-Box and lap top at the same time with out problems
Answer:	This unit does not have wrt
Question:	wrt

User questions & answers

Question:	Why can’t I access the internet when the “app” says I’m connected
Answer:	Explain
Question:	Does this meet dhs recommended specs? snmp v
Answer:	I have CenturyLink 1gig fiber service only and this works well to replace their "modem" which is not a modem. It will not work as your only device if you thier TV or phone service. To replace internet only service you need your PPPoE username and password (can call and get from century link) to enter into the router. Then there is a setting on the router for VLAN tagging which needs set to 201. Then you send thier crappy "modem" back and tell them to take off your monthly "modem" lease fee. Provides much faster speed throughout my home!
Question:	Will this work with century link
Answer:	I have had multiple PCs and our Blu-Ray player all working at the same time and not noticed any slow down, so I would expect it to work for you. You need to start off with a high bandwidth feed like FIOS.
Question:	Can I have up to 3 ps4s playing on line while 2 P.Cs are streaming
Answer:	I think so, VPN is Cisco's router networks as Virtual routing/forwarding, this RV110W just as router with firewall protection,slow speed or sucky may be caused by other interrupt not connection.

User questions & answers

Question:	What version of firmware is installed on this router? What version of hardware is installed on this router
Answer:	Yes, the router has a VPN pass through but it does not have a VPN server capability
Question:	Can't load certain pages (on all devices/browsers), reset dns to google 8.8.8.8, which didn't help. What setting do I need to change to fit this
Answer:	Yes it is because the e3000 is more like the old 4200 cisco linksys router I had that just wouldn't stream movies to we'll if there was more than one or two devices streaming at the same time I have had 10 devices hooked up at one time and streaming movies on 3 or 4 of them at the same time and no problems at all with the ac2600 and my Internet is 10megs and it's crap but changed nothing but my router and now everything works. Movies can play in HD 1080p now gaming no problem at all. And it's got a lot of options to change stuff even if you not home using your smart phone.
Question:	Does this work with Verizon fios
Answer:	This router is NOT a true Wave 2 device because it doesn't support 160MHz channels as described in the 802.11AC wave 2 specification. 160MHz channels offer double the theoretical speeds of 80MHz channels. This router only supports 80MHz channels so you end up with 433Mbs x 4(spatial streams) = 1733Mbs. With 160MHz channels you get 866Mbs x 4(spatial streams) = 3464Mbs which most companies round to 3.5Gbs. With 160MHz channels they are 2 times as wide so they carry 2 times the data. Seems like a bad idea to spend so much money on these initial routers that don't support 160MHz channels when Qualcomms new mobile phone processors support 160MHz channels. That means a new phone connected to this router would only transfer at half the speed it's capable of.
Question:	Does this router have a gui interface that supports vlan
Answer:	The new router is designed to stay flat on a surface, but it can also be wall-mounted, though it doesn't include any mounting screws.

User questions & answers

Question:	password
Answer:	Yes. You can hardwire and chain multiple Google Wifi points together. You may visit our Google Wifi page for more information or reach out to our support on the same help page.
Question:	Hello! how many devices can connect to this and still keep the high wifi speeds? we have three cell phones, 1 roku, 1 wii u, pc, treadmill. thx
Answer:	No. Google Wifi already comes with a built-in reliable antenna. You may hardwire and chain multiple Google Nest Wifi routers and/or multiple Google Wifi points together since metal buildings will cause Wi-Fi signal interference. Please visit our Google Wifi support page to learn more with our self-help articles or contact our support team on the same page for further assistance.
Question:	Does this run hot? Any throttling or instability issues noticed under heavy usage
Answer:	Google Wifi 2020 is a dual band Wi-Fi mesh system. It has same capabilities with the 2016 model but with some design changes and improvement. Here are some: - Google Wifi 2016 has a USB-C power jack but Google Wifi 2020 has a Barrel jack. - The Google "G" logo on Google Wifi 2020 point is engraved, not printed. - The Google Wifi 2020 is sustainably designed with 49% of device plastic part weight is made with recycled material.
Question:	Does this wrt 3200 acm work with tomato firmware
Answer:	Yes it can. I have a Verizon router too and turned it off so as not to interfere with the Google WiFi mesh (you don't want to have two networks/NATs). I don't recommend these as they are not working properly for me after having them for a year and don't seem to be supported properly by Google as they are sending updates that work with their newer Nest Wifi. Best to use ero 6.
