Does this unit have a WAN Port, be used as Broadband router? I am getting 130 Mb/s from Cox. I've narrowed down to the EdgeRouter Lite and this.

This is so customizable you can make any one the wan port! I use port 1 as the wan as ports 1-5 are gig and 6-10 are 10/100.

Well, it comes configured to use port 1 as wan port. ports 1 to 5 are configured with 200mb each one (it says that comes with gigabit, but, it is splitted to 5 ports, each one with 200mb).

Any port can be used as a WAN port as long as it is configured to do so. The default configuration that ships with the router sets ETH1 and the SFP port (optical) as 'WAN' ports while the rest belong to the LAN. Note that the default configuration only sets the port when you power on the router the very first time and follow the prompts on the LCD. Otherwise, the user is expected to provide all the configuration for the device.

The router is listed in the dd-wrt site, but I haven't tried flashing it. From what I can see, though, there's not much difference between the stock dd-wrt and the buffalo interface besides the branding. It didn't come broke, so as of now I have no need to fix it.

Obviously you have no network experience. The only thing that ever goes into the WAN port of your router is your modem. Every device that you want to connect to the Web go into 1 of the 2,4,6,8 Local ports on router to be routed to the Web.

Simple answer - yes it does. It is a gigabit wifi router - it allows throughput via Ethernet at 10/100/100.The wifi set up is easy with a laptop or device (pad or phone) - Linksys has ready made, easy to use apps waiting for dl to guide you through set up.The refurbished one I got arrived in mint, 10 out of 10 condition (prolly was just a return) and works really well.

I agree I tried a Belkin router because for the price it seemed better than linksys. i am constantly restarting the router and looseing connection. I to am returning the belkin to get a lynksys.

Yes, I have a similar configuration now. You'll need one non-poe port to hook to the router which will be your uplink. Then, you can use the extra non-poe ports for whatever you want.

This device should have no issues working with any router or switch that has a gigabit ethernet port. The connection between the router and the modem is by ethernet. With that in mind, unless there is new technology in the D-Link WAN port, there should be no issues.

Only if you connect it using the WAN. This router does not have a coax port.

Yes, I use the router at my place in N MI where there is no wireline high speed Internet. I just went month to month on the data plan to see how it would work. If it did not work. I could sellthe device and cancel the data plan. Have had it two years and love it. I manage the deployment of cellular networks for a living, so I am very fussy about performance.

After some searching it looks like it uses a Broadcom chipset which is kind of odd considering most Linksys stuff is Atheros. I am not sure the exact chipset model though it took me long enough to find out it is Broadcom. Hope this helps.

It's a gateway. Big difference. Meaning it can do whatever you want it to. I'm asking them for a firmware upgrade so that I can bypass Time Warner for the phone provisioning. Time Warner is dragging their feet because they don't know how I got it to work. If you have Comcast then none of that matters.

Well, there is no QoS, but there is something else which is better, in this router you can create a group for cameras and create Granted Upload speed which is better than QoS especially if you have several cameras and another devices using the same network. This router will use one WAN at a time not both, and one WAN will be back up for the other. so if you are looking for a load balancer buy the highest models, and by the way this one have no POE and its speed is 100Mbps.

i bought two of this model this spring from http://amazon.com. I'm still using the first modem, and works just fine. And also you do not have to pay a rental fee. I also just purchased my own router for my new dell 1721 laptop to fit in with my dell desktop. Shop around, great deals out here. Go to amazon and they will give you a comparative price also.

Only if you Router supports POE. Your router will specifically have ports labeled POE. If your router doesn't support POE, you can use an injector or add a poe router to your network.

Yes it works very good with DSL broadband.I connected my Netgear router with Qwest modem to be used for Roku 3 player.Channels of 1,6, and 11 are commonly recommended as they have no overlapping frequency,however, mine worked best with channel 1 connection with 145 mbps. Connection is very stableand I have had no issue whatsoever since last June.Enjoy your new Netgear router from Amazon.You must change your password from default because your next door neighbor coulduse your router signal and you are getting weaker signal accordingly.

There was no software with it for use as a router. It is an adapter that both sends & receives signals so in theory the computer it's connected to could serve as router with the proper software. I saw another questions answer that mentioned the "Internet connection sharing" feature in Windows that will allows sharing a broadband connection but I suspect you need a networking knowledgeable person to look at your specific requirements.
