Is... Is this a tenda router?

According to a review from smallnetbuilder (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32272-medialink-mwn-wapr300n-wireless-n-broadband-router-300-mbps-reviewed), this router has the same FCC ID as the Tenda W368R. That review asserts that the MediaLink router is the Tenda router. According to lawyers representing Medialink, saying these two routers are the same is a "lie" (source: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/lawyers-bully-redditor-for-negative-amazon-com-router-review/ and imgur.com/a/V0qf3). However, I fail to see how two routers can have same the same FCC ID and yet be different. I would be surprised if that's lawful. Guess which brand of router I will never buy.

For those looking at this, take a look at the actual tenda ($15) Tenda router and judge for yourself: http://www.microcenter.com/product/381840/W368R_Wireless-N_Broadband_Router

Anyone serious about their electronics and networking would have never touched this with a 10 foot pole to begin with. Good luck to you all and your fight.

No. I'm using it right now. All it has is a power plug, a line in, and four lines out. It's a straight up router, very functional and hasn't given me a hint of a problem ever. No software. Hope that helps.

i do not know, i had some help setting mine up. we knew where the router was.

No, it is a repeater. They are made to be away from the router to repeat the signal further.

I'm guessing from the price point that it is not. I did test the strength and there was no drop off. The router is near a Modum and a TV , it runs 100' without interference or signal loss. Hope that helps.

No, it's a dsl modem that I connected to my dlink wireless router and to my pc. This allows me to operate smart phones, laptop and wife's Kindle anywhere in the house. Anyway, it's not "wireless" unto itself, it is not a combination modem/router, it must be connected to a router for wireless service. Good luck...

No it is a router. Some form of wifi or ethernet has to be available For it to do its job.

No. It is essentially and Ethernet splitter. I have a Ethernet line run to a room in my house from my router, this allows me to connect multiple devices to that Ethernet line instead of a wireless connection.

No, that combo router has internal antennas. The router must have external antenna that's removable. For this RP-SMA cable to work, you would remove the stock antenna & attach this cable to your router. Then reinstall the a antenna on the other end of this cable. I hope this helps

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

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, this is only a router. The dual band refers to the frequency of the wifi signal.

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.
