What does the N in "Wireless N-DSL" modem/router mean....I'm clueless.

N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11). Home WiFi routers have progress from A to B, G, and now N corresponding to speeds of approximately 1.5Mb, 11Mb, 52Mb, and 300Mb. Note that you will only get the 300Mbps speed if your computer (or other wireless device) also has a wireless-N adapter. If it is lower speed, this router will be backwards compatible and run at that speed. Also note that while your WiFi in your house may run at 300Mbps, your DSL connection through your phone line will not. Max speed for this ADSL2 modem are about 10Mbps, so that is about the best you can expect if you are paying for that level of service.

Hi - the N stand for naked - Naked DSL. Basically means DSL service that doesn't have a dial tone associated with it.

The SB5101 and SB5101N ARE different modems. The N edition is a revision of the 5101 series. It has different hardware, stripped down (i.e. the lack of USB), and is not compatible currently with most ISPs in the US. I highly recommend going with the SB5101 instead.

It's a router, not a modem. The modem is what connects to your coaxial cable coming from the provider. The modem then has another slot for an Ethernet cable that goes on to your router. The modem is also what you're probably thinking of. All routers work with all cable providers because they're only meant to relay the service signal your modem is receiving. Look up the difference between a modem and a router if you want to learn more.

Yes it is a good wireless router. N stands for speed 4 times faster than 3G networks. It is switable for home use. 120 means the distance in feet

Looks like it's b/g only, so it might ruin the max throughput for other wireless clients that support N (54Mbps instead of 150Mbps)From their manual "The MC200Air operates with "n", "g" or "b" systems, however, it will not connect to a router that is "class n" only, nor on a limited access "guest" network."

If it support 2.6GHz only, it is not true 802.11N. Not to be a purist, but the reason for using N is to utilize the far less polluted 5GHz frequency range. One of my Foscam FI9805W cameras worked fine when located very close (within 15') of the router. When moved to a new area, it would disconnect due to being in range of more than 10 2.6GHz 802.11G networks. The only way to solve this was to connect it to a N 5GHz bridge.

It's either/or depending on the network that you choose. one will say "networkname" and the other "networkname.5GHz"

Not surprised, the one I had started dropping the network connection completely and had to be restarted to get it back. After hours on the phone with dlink, they blamed my ISP. I called my ISP and blamed dlink, through all this I made several attempts to bridge this router with my modem/router, to no avail. I gave up and got switch and used my ISP's wireless connection via the modem/router.

The modem & router are on the middle level. the net gear is plugged into an outlet on the lower level totally away from the modem. It works all thru the house even in our loft. almost always get 5 bars never less then 3 and that's only for a few minutes. Which is a GREAT improvement!!

Whoever talked you into this because it is both a router and modem did not understand the product. It is not a modem, it is a router that works on two different bands.

This not a modem this is an AP. But what you are intending would work if you connect this to your modem through a LAN cable and use the wireless SSID from netgear. I believe that you will still have to use your modem and are talking about the "weak" wireless connection through your modem. So in this case your modem is acting as modem + wireless router. Also check other high strength routers or may be amplifiers if you just want that. There should be a comparison for strengths of routers somewhere. I use this in my apt so cannot comment on the range.

It is a load balancer, and a router is also built in if you want to use it as your main router(wired).It does install behind your dsl modem as it is not a modem. Hope that helps.

According to my Charter modem, my Vera3 is currently connected at "n" speed and is working fine.

This is a DSL modem. You will need to have DSL service in able to use it. I believe that this unit only has 1 Ethernet jack on the back of the unit. If you need to hook up multiple computers via Ethernet than you will need to use a switch with it. You can only hook up 1 computer to it. It does have wireless so you can hook up multiple clients wireless.

Yes the "N" just stands for Network meaning that your printer is network ready and has a network card built in. All of the internal parts are the same.

The network sharing on Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista is stricter than Windows3.11/95/98. It has nothing to do with the router or any router for that matter.

I am getting this message and am using a Netgear g/n router. Wired is no problem. But I haven't been successful with the wireless yet.
