User questions & answers

Question:	What does "AC1200" mean
Answer:	AC means that the router has support for the 802.11ac (or Wi-Fi 5) wireless networking standard, which offers fast WiFi network connections on the 5GHz frequency. 1200 means the max Mbps is 1200
Question:	Does the box come with the necessary cables? (e.g. power cord and coax cable
Answer:	It does come with a power cord and either net cable. A coax is not needed since cable company should connect their end directly to the modern.
Question:	Does this modem have netgear genie
Answer:	Hello Thank you for contacting us. It has Netgear Genie App Management. Any questions please contact us again. Thanks.
Question:	I see many ppl asking about a router and answers say “modem only” but the description says wifi modem combo. what am i missing
Answer:	The confusion is due to the illogical way Amazon links questions and answers to products. There are several different products listed on this one product page. Some are just modems, others are modem/router combos. Unfortunately, all the different products on this page share the same questions and answers which aren't relevant to one another. If the description on the product you have selected says it's a modem/router combo, then it's a modem/router combo. The people saying it's only a router are answering the question based on the product their viewing or have purchased. This is a problem that effects many products throughout the Amazon site.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the range on this modem. we are having trouble picking up a strong signal. Moden router is downstairs and the streaming tv is upstairs. Thanks
Answer:	Depending on how many walls or floors and the materials it has to pass through, I suspect the range to be able 100-150 feet. We have this router in an office building and the plaza next door to us (approx 250 feet) can see our signal. Downstairs and through a concrete floor, people who are only 20 feet away can get 1 bar of reception because the signal is trying to pass through cement. If you're using this with a wood floor, carpet or tile, you should still be getting decent signal.
Question:	Is this modem compatible with window 8.1 devices
Answer:	Yes. I am using 8 Windows 8.1 devices, and multiple TVs, Roku boxes, Android phones and tablets as well as several DirecTV receivers in wireless and wired situations. It should be compatible with pretty much anything that uses a wired or wireless connection.
Question:	is this better and faster than the westell ultra line 3 i have from verizon. and if i buy this one can i hook it directly up with no problems
Answer:	I know it was better than the one I got from Verizon-much faster, and no problem what ever in hooking it up. Buying this was the best thing I did. I plugged it in, and that was it-simple.
Question:	Will this work with Verizon Fios Quantum
Answer:	It is not compatible with Verizon FIOS at all, at least that was written on the box I received (although not mentioned anywhere on the description on the site).
Question:	I have a smart tv that does not have wifi, will this box bring the internet to my tv
Answer:	No, you will need some kind of adapter to the TV that sorts out TV feeds. I highly recommend Amazon FireTV or Roku for that. This router (box) connects that TV device to the internet, enabling your TV to receive Netflix, Amazon Prime TV, etc.
Question:	Does this router come with a small stand to prop it up? (so it has a smaller footprint, similar to AT&T modems propped vertically
Answer:	This one does not have a stand, however it does have a mount that allows you to mount the router to the wall.
Question:	Is it possible to create 2 independent networks with this router
Answer:	I don't know. I am not using it now since I got U-verse. AT&T sells their own router.
Question:	can any body tell me the range for this device please
Answer:	The specs and features indicate it is for a small home. I would assume that it means a one-bedroom one-level home, depending on whether you have cement or wood-frame, two-bedroom with more of an open plan could still possibly work fine. http://us.dlink.com/products/connect/wireless-n150-home-router/

User questions & answers

Question:	It seems impossible to connect a display via usb-c. use thunderbolt usb-c for video, then you can't charge the macbook air. why

Question:	Received today and it is not new. already unwrapped. how do i return to get a new one, like i ordered? or get discount for receiving an open box item
Answer:	Contact Amazon for return and replacement.
Question:	Has anyone noticed their wifi will cut out randomly with this product throughout the day
Answer:	Yes, this is happening increasingly. I bought about 3 months ago. The problem started maybe a couple of weeks later. Now, it’s multiple time, every day. The provider company says they can’t fix. Arris said I was only getting 1 upstream channel, instead of 3. And that was the cause of the intermittent WiFi. You can check your status by typing 192.168.100.1 in browser. Scroll down past your downstream list to see your upstream list. Each line represents a channel. An Arris rep also told me to ask for a ‘tier 1 supervisor’ at the internet provider company. Otherwise, they won’t know how to assist you. That’s where I’m at now. They’re sending a tech out to check everything. I’m just not sure they can fix my upstream problem. We shall see.
Question:	It's impossible to get a true perspective of this modem/router because the reviews and questions are for many Arris products. How is this possible
Answer:	I have Optimum as my ISP and my Arris modems have been very reliable. I had an Arris TM822A that worked perfectly since 2013. I wanted to stop leasing so I purchased the Arris SB6183 as an upgrade and it is working fine for the last 2 weeks. I would only buy one of two Arris. The SB6183 (16x4) or the SB8200 (32x8). I would not buy the Arris SB6190 /TM602/TM1672) or anything with a Puma 6 chipset. The Puma 6 chipset from Intel has a defect that firmware has still not fixed. You can google that chipset to see the issues with latency. If the Arris works with your cable company, I don't see an issue buying one of the two mentioned. BTW, the two are modems only, no router or telephone connection.
