A:AnswerYes set up was a breeze. I work in networking and it only took 5 minutes to set it up with all of the advanced features. You just plug in the router and open a webpage type in the ip address and it basically gives you a step by step walk through.
A:AnswerMy home is 3k square feet and no issues have been noted. What I'd recommend if you do find some dead spots is to purchase a wall wifi outlet extender. All you do is plug it into an electrical outlet , sync it with your main router via online guidance and whenever you're in that dead spot room you allow for your devices to automatically connect to it for continued wifi connection. It's a one time deal as your devices will remember wifi connections after you connect to them once..
A:AnswerPersonally, I bought a modem under $100. You will make your money if you plan on having internet more than 10 months. There are nice modems for $75-$100 that may even be better than what Xfinity offers. This is of course a personal choice but I don't like renting things like these when I can just own it and get more out of it.
Your EA6400 should work well with a new modem.
You will need to call Xfinity to set up your own modem but that should be an easy process.
Hope this helps!
A:AnswerHi, Sheaux. The Linksys EA7500 Smart Wi-Fi router should work with your ISP but, it should be connected to a modem or modem/router (gateway) via Ethernet cable.
A:AnswerThis router absolutely does not weigh 20 pounds. Maybe one or two pounds at most. It is what I would call typical weight for a router and I have (over the years) had a few.
A:AnswerHi, jaybird1900. Yes, you can. We recommend setting up the router in a room where you can use it optimally. Also, make sure that the Ethernet cable connecting the Linksys EA7500 to the modem is not too long to avoid network latency.
A:AnswerHi, FaradayCaged. We currently don't have a router that will fit your specification. However, it is possible to turn off the Wi-Fi network from this router if that will help. Get in touch with us at [email protected] with your contact details and a link to this post if you'd like to discuss more about this matter.
A:AnswerHi, Puppyluv7297! It is recommended to keep the antennas attached to the router for wider wireless range. If you want to expand the wireless network and optimize its performance, you can detach and replace then with another set of high performance antennas.
A:AnswerThe answer to you're question lies more in what kind of ISP you have. It's pretty hard to sturate the 1900 dual bandwidth routers. So unless you have 15+ devices all doing tasks at the same time, shouldn't really be the issue. Now if you have four or five devices doing real intensive networking tasks like sharing large files over the local net. That would benefit from more bandwidth. If just watching two Netflix movies and playing cod4 is causing buffering, the problem if you're ISP not the router.
