i used this circa 2008 with Cox modem,Vista laptop, Roku box, specifically to watch Netflix. Will it still work with NEWER fast speeds &amp; NEW Roku box?

Yes, Janie. This should work since the newer Roku supports the wireless-B standard.

My experience with this model was not good when it came to accessing Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. My answer to your question is yes, it will, but expect to get regularly bumped off. Roku3 is a better bet for this.

If you go to the Roku website they had a $20 off coupon for new Netflix customers, and that may still be in effect. I'm considering another one to hook up to the lcd tv in front of my treadmill-it's very small and would give me a lot more viewing options without running any more wires or cables.

I bought mine new right after X-mas, had the same problem (not able to stream Netflix), I did the "reset" as stated above, and logged into my secure router (Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router[WNR2000v2]), and I was able to stream Netflix after that.The night before, I had called EVERYBODY (LG, Netflix, and Netgear) customer support(s), and got nowhere. Netflix was the best though, in enlightening me that I needed to open 2 ports opened for streaming to work. I did that, but no change.The "RESET" worked though, ports 443 and 80. I hope this post casts some light on the problem to someone out there....! Good luck everyone...!

Hmm, I'm not sure if that is true about it being too old, but I can tell you that mine was working with Time Warner Cable for about four months....then it died. I had to go back to renting one again. My great experiment did not work out for me. Good luck if you give it a try.

Hi Catboat Willy,A user from our forums said it will as long as the router will provide the bandwidth that your Roku device needs. Kindly refer to this link to see the complete post: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Social-Media-Support/Amazon-Q-amp-A-Valet-M20-Roku-Compatibility/td-p/649760Thanks,Linksys Supporthttp://support.linkys.com

I just returned my unit and got a replacement and the new unit works fine, no problems connecting to netflix. Also, my original unit didn't process the firmware upgrades because the new unit now has blockbuster and you tube on it. So it you have the chance, you might want to take it back for an exchange.

I don't think it can, but for $99 you can purchase a Roku box from Netfix that does a great job with easy set up easy to hook up to your at home WiFi etc. I've had a very good experience w/ it, but I have DSL Qwest and it doesn't have the best down load speed, probably best w/ cable modem or high speed DSL (especially w/ HDTV)

If you are mainly interested in Netflix, my vote would be to go with the Roku. I got a Linksys dma2100 and I still cannot get the vmcNetFlix plugin to work to watch Netflix through the Media Center software. Plus I was hoping to stream Hulu.com through Media Center and cannot do that either. My plan at this point is to just find an older XP tower and set it next to the TV. This way I am free to choose Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Boxee, etc. I will probably hang on to my extender to see whether there will be more options for it over the next year.

You can use it with your router. As for connecting to multiple devices - if you are talking about connecting this to multiple devices AT THE SAME TIME, the answer is NO. This is a USB device. This will also not work with your Roku or your phone as this is mainly for laptops and desktops that are beyond your normal router range. For that purpose, this is a fabulous range extender. I got perhaps an additional 500 feet beyond my normal line of signal with a laptop. I was getting a solid three to four bars on the laptop. I am confident I could have gone further but this got a great signal to my garage and that was my primary purpose of purchase.

No it didn't work. We wound up having to hook it up by wire to our wireless router in order to get Internet access for Netflix.

I know the description says for Comcast only, but I purchased this modem in January of 2012 and plugged it in to Charter Cable and it has been rock-solid ever since. I probably should add the caveat that my subscription is for the 60MB speed level, so it's possible that this modem won't work properly with higher speed packages. I believe that the Comcast-only declaration is because this modem doesn't appear in the "approved modems" list for the other ISP's, but that's just my guess.

Maybe. It depends on how capable is your Wifi router. I had the same problem with my router being upstairs. I ended up buying a new better router and it still didn't help. What I ended up doing is reconfiguring my original router as wireless access point and keeping it within about 20 feet from the Roku box. Now the streaming problem have disappeared with Netflix and Amazon VOD. Actually when you stream, the Roku box provides an indication (in terms of horizontal dots) of how good the signal strength is. If you get 3 or greater dots (maximum is 4), you have a good connection. The signal strength in the settngs menu also should say the strength is good or excellent (fair isn't good enough). I still have the stutter with IMAX and some other HiDef sites but I feel now this might be either a problem with these sites not being able to deliver HD traffic very well or my Comcast connection not being fast enough. I get &gt;5Mbps consistently though it ranges between 3-13Mbps. I recommend you check your internet BW limit on U-verse first. If you are getting less than 1.5Mbps you will have a stutter independent of your Wifi on Netflix. If you are getting &gt; 3Mbps then most likely it's your Wifi. Hope this helps.

I use it with my Comcast Dory modem (router, phone, and modem combo) without any problems. Speed seems to be the same more or less but I only do video streaming on this particular PC.

I have very slow connection just 4mb and is great! wifi works great, I can watch any netflix movie or youtube videos etc... with no problems.

I am using mine to stream roku and it works flawlessly. It has to do with signal strength. If you are getting a strong signal you should be fine. The web site and manual says 70 is optimum strength but I get 62 to 65 and my connection and speed re really great.
