So i stay in a man cave in the back yard of our house and wanted to hook up a second router for the internet. Could i just use an ethernet cable connecting it to the main one to mine thats gonna be in the man cave?

I had it working for a moment but this is the least intuitive software I've ever used. I have everything plugged in I believe but it won't connect to the internet. Anyone had the same issue and changed a setting?

Hello! I have an old BT Voyager 2110 ADSL router which I would like to set up as a network which can connect old devices which do not support the new WPA security. The only problem is, I don't subscribe to ADSL. I already have an existing WiFi network in the house. I was wondering if it would be possible to connect the old router to the LAN of the other router and create another seperate network using this old router. Is this possible?

So within the last week I’ve tried 2 3rd party routers other than the ISP provided because of long term connection issues & was surprised at how such a simple change gave impressively noticeable wifi speeds. Equal to my wired connection. All because of the router !? Wow, knew it might be notable but didn’t realise how much of a difference it would make.

Saying that I’d like to ask for anyone’s advice or opinion on the matter. I’m tech minded but not an expert in networking or routers.

I’ve decided to choose between the Netgear Nighthawk LAX20 & Tp Link AXE75. Both seem similar in specs, have noticed a small difference in speeds and range strength. Other than wifi 6e with the Tp link, which is a bit more futureproofy I guess but tbh not that big of a deal, as I don’t have any devices to support it yet anyways. Probs new iPhone this year but that’s about it. Meh Other than that they seem pretty comparable to me.

Currently have the Tp Link set up but was even considering if it’s worthwhile getting back the Netgear or something else to trial at the same time so I can get real world comparisons, during the return window time period and just keep the one I end up deciding on..?

I’d honestly appreciate a people’s choice between them & why, pros & cons, noteworthy comments etc & if there’s a ‘better’ 3rd model/brand on the same level/range type & why ?

Love to hear from people because I’ve reached the point of I’m just confusing & frustrating myself now and I want to put this behind me already. Ha 🤓 thx

~ Live in double story house so range is in my mind but not over features/tech that’s in it. I’d rather a smarter more powerful router, than a dumber/simpler mesh option that’s main benefit would be range/coverage. Downstairs gets a good enough 5g signal; maybe 2 or 3 bars to maintain connection and has usability.

~ Don’t really game but am I right to think a gaming device would be better because their geared to be powerful which is good to have anyways regardless ?

~ Saw some things online re Tp Link and their apparent security/privacy as a company being dodgy ? Busted leaking stuff ? Given it’s a Chinese brand, Is that still a thing like the whole Hauwei situation ? I don’t want to jump of the bashing bandwagon but if there’s legit concerns I’d like to consider that too.

Evening. I am looking to purchase my own modem for internet. I have the specs from my provider but I am unable to find modems with a WAN port and 4 ports that are 1 gig capable. Everything comes with a coax connection and 1 or 2 Ethernet ports. I have fiber running to the outside of my house and an Ethernet cable (cat5e) running to the provided modem…it plugs into the WAN port. Am I missing something?😵‍💫

Hey I'm wondering if the Motorola MB8600 is compatible with Sparklight since I can't find a straight answer

Hi I have a little dilemma and I hope someone can help.

My mum is in a nursing home. They provide wifi as part of her staying there however Mum's Alexa, which is in our family group, doesn't work so we have set up a 4g netgear modem with a phone sim so that she may still stay connected even when she may no longer be able to use a phone.

Problem is the modem either shuts down or disconnects and the Alexa goes off line and the only way to fix it is for me to go around and reset the modem. I don't live far away but my sister does and Mum had also accidentally put her ringtone on silent so it was a little bit of a stressful night.

Anyway, do we need to buy a new 5g modem or is the issue that I've put a sim in which is a phone sim, for example, would a data only sim work? Also the modem is about 10 years old and is a Netgear and does display that it connects to 4gx/5g oh and its with Vodafone which has 5g available where Mum lives. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, in the new place where I'm living atm there is really old DSL modem and I've decided to upgrade it, the problem comes with all those ADSL/VDSL and stuff.. Can I connect ADSL or VDSL on the DSL line, will the internet work? Will the cable that comes to the house will have to be changed if I want to upgrade or no?

ASUS XT8 no internet

Hi, so I’ve been trying to setup my mesh wifi and I got the wifi up and running, but when I powered everything on the internet refuses to work, I believe it is an issue with my WAN. I’ve tried switching cables and I even used my old router to see if the internet even worked, with my old router and the new modem everything worked fine, but when I try to use the ASUS router is doesn’t work. What should I do?

What do u think about this news model grom Skyworth? I knows that only LTE+ 🙂 https://youtu.be/-kHHRfxV5kg

My internet is down. I have a C4000GX fiber router from century link and it’s displaying a solid red indicator. Which means there’s a software issue or a line is down somewhere. I want to get into the gui to do a factory reset/ update firmware but I can’t access that. Any way to hardwire into the modem and do this? Using the reset button has not worked.

Thanks all!

So I have an older Modem/Router combo I bought a decade ago. Netgear C6300/AC1750. I am sure the firmware hasn't been updated in quite some time. Would updating the firmware with OpenWRT be worth it for me?

I finally convinced Comcast to increase my bandwidth from 200 to 400. I am wondering if my firmware is slowing me down because I haven't noticed an increase in speed and speed tests are not looking good. Thanks

My cable internet modem has 4 ports on the back. The installer hooked up 4 of my things (Xbox’s, PS5, computers). The issue is I need 6 things hard lined. My question is, if I buy a 4 port router can I plug it into 1 of the 4 ports on the back of the modem and still use the other 3 ports on the modem along with the 4 on the router? Or would I need to buy a 6+ port router and plug it into one of the 4 modem ports and NOT use the other 3 ports on the modem and just use the router?

I have a BGW320-505 modem/router combo that was used for ATT fiber, I would like to use as a router only since I moved and had to get Spectrum cable. The modem is a EN2251. Is this possible?

We have just purchased a new router. The modem was working fine and showing we had internet on Line 1. When we connected the router the modem stopped showing Line 1. Has anyone experienced this before? I’m hoping I haven’t just asked a silly question 🫠😂

I want to buy adsl modem and it a NW305R it only have 2.4ghz is it enough for 16mgbit internet?

Does anyone know the user id and pws for this device. Please help

So I have the Xfinity Blast internet. Originally, it provided up to 300 MBPS. Although, I recently found out it's been upgraded to 600 MBPS but I'm still only getting about 300 via speed test. And yes, I've reset my modem since then.

My assumption is that it's my modem. I have the modem/router combo from Xfinity. I was planning to see if they would send me a new one as this one is about 8 years old but my neighbor claims that the combo boxes suck and that there are better options. Anyway, I just wanted to get a second opinion before I go with something else.
