Questionwill this make my internet faster? and yes i’ll be connecting it to a modem. but i’m just curios if it will even help me at all.
Asked 4 years ago by muffinman17.
- Answer Depends. What standards does your Modem support? I bought this by mistake, thinking that my Verizon Fios modem was old enough that it was a couple of wireless generations back. It wasn't. So, MY modem is actually better than this. I'm donating this one to my church for use in space that has poor WiFi.

QuestionAm I correct that using this with the 2.4ghz modem gateway at&t provided this will increase wifi speed & stability, enable broadcasting on both 2.4/5 ghz channels & allow configuring settings other than those set by at&t in the Pace5031NV?
Asked 4 years ago by Bey.
- Answer Yes, you can configure this unit as a wifi hotspot and get all the additional features (including dual band) not available from your unit from AT&T. One word of warning: this does not support more than 100 mb/s on it's inbound WAN port, same as your current unit. It says it supports gigabit speeds, but that's only between devices connected to it, and does not apply to the incoming speed from your ISP. So if you ever upgrade to higher speeds from AT&T (or any other provider), this will be a bottleneck for any wired or wifi devices connecting through it.
