Hi! A gateway is what you're interested in. Gateway's are a combination of cable modem and router all in one device. The advantage of a gateway is there's less clutter with only the one device. Also, there's one less device to plug into your wall outlet for power too. It's possible that your ISP might be able to supply you with a gateway, instead of a cable modem...Give them a call. Hope this helps! JM

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

This router may (emphasis on 'may') help if your network in the house is saturated with multiple computers accessing streaming media/gaming at the same time. I'd stick with what you have.

Must be...I am very satisfied with this router. It serves my entire house even the hard to reach spots that my previous router could not reach. We run about 10 different components and do not have any issues. Works great!!

No. I don't think it is. I believe the only router I found that is was an Asus.

Bench Dog has various plates geared to different routers. Check them out and buy the correct plate for your use

Firmware like this is usually tested well enough to prevent what you are seeing. Go back to the previous version though. I doubt that you could have actually broken the router with the firmware update.

Not sure what you mean. It is a VOIP telephone service connected your router. It doesn't handle computers.

This is a cable based router not wireless. So if you connecting with cables then get it. If you want wireless then this is not what you want.

I used a Netgear Router but my understanding about how it works is that any brand of router should work. Bruce

Dear SB Leo,I never do anything to my router so where do I find this disconnect in so many minutes on the router, or is it on the computer, if so where? I do not mind leaving my laptop on , and it goes to idle after a few minutes anywayThanks so much for your help. LaRaine

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

sorry-I don't understand your question-this is not a router-don't know how it would do for what you ask about-I suggest a router

I don't know why someone wrote it's only a router because it's both. All I have is this one box and so many wifi devices connected to it. iPhones, roku player, amazon fire tv's, laptops, wifi printer, and an apple tv. Oh and Dlink wifi cameras too. I love modems with built in routers. I never had to use a modem and a router separately before. Wouldn't even know how to hook the two up. I guess I'll watch a YouTube video just so I could have a clue. But yes this one box is all you'll need. My internet provider is Comcast.

This is a modem and wireless router built in. This would be redundant. what is the point?

You are most welcome. The best place (that I know of) for you to ask about a gaming router is probably at the Virtual Dr Networking forum - http://discussions.virtualdr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=32
