User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable and user friendly are the parental controls
Answer:	Just go into the HP printer’s Setup/Network config and set a manual IP - 192.168.4.60 - and be done. That will save AirPrint and other misery as well.
Question:	Is there a separate modem I can buy that supports spectrum telephone service? I want this mesh system but need a Modem that supports my phone service
Answer:	You need to purchase your own modem and register it with Comcast, then you can add these as your WiFi router and return the Comcast Gateway you have now. You will have to tell comcast that you are doing this, then you don't have to pay their rental fee. I have my own modem and router, have for years. It pays for itself to do it this way!
Question:	Will this sync and interface with tp-link omada systems
Answer:	I had an older NetGear extender (5 years or so, plugged into the wall, dual band). I just bought this to replace it and like it a lot better. It automatically finds the signals and keeps you going. My NG extender gave me a 2G and a 5G connection separately. So I had to constantly disconnect my WiFi on devices and choose the other when the connection was crappy or lost. No more of that!! My internet is one thing now and that's worth the price of admission. Also, love love the app so that I can actually see all devices using it. And the security updates are great since I'm working from home now and have to use company programs.
Question:	I just installed this and apple is indicating wpa/wpa2 (tkip) is not considered secure. how can i configure this to wpa2 (aes) or wpa3 security type
Answer:	The bacons have to have a power source. If it is too hot, the bacons will be too hot and crispy. We found it better to do the bacons in our oven rather than plug them in. Try it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this get a wifi 6 update
Answer:	I don't think so. This is an 802.11AC router, not an 802.11AX (wifi6) router. AFAIK Asus has already released an 802.11AX version of this router model. Means, if you want the AX type, then you should order that type.
Question:	did they fix the bugs that everyone are talking about
Answer:	Yes, most bugs seemed to occur with June update. It took them until August to fix. Router now works as intended and better than my previous ac5300. GT 5300 is definitely a step up. Let's hope no more breaking updates.
Question:	Is there a port for using an internet sim card
Answer:	This router is for home internet, not cellular internet.
Question:	How is the range differ from Ac
Answer:	@29db If I remember correctly so the range is pretty good 2500 Square feet + should be expected. However, it's already been pulled out of my network. Personally, when adaptive QOS is turned on in my environment, the router reboots every few minutes to an hour including gigabit auto negotiation issues, etc. Again, the range is great but the software has made this a purchase filled with regret. Merlin doesn't have anything out for alternative firmware flavors for the rog rapture either. In short, I would recommend avoiding the headache until 3rd party firmware is able to address the instability issues and user reviews reflect that. In my case, this is the first ASUS network product I have purchased and it's going to be several years before I look back in their direction.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you wire from one hub to another bypassing the main hub at the modem?reason being seperate garage from home is 160ft from each other
Answer:	Yes it works with Centurylink ADSL plans (upload is up to 1M). NOT VDSL PLAN (upload speed is 10m)
Question:	Can an antenna be connected to one of these devices? I am trying to get internet through these in a metal building
Answer:	It should but note this model was discontinued in 2011 and is no longer supported. You should call your ISP to see if this modem is compatible.
Question:	Is the 2020 model tri band or still dual band like the 2016 model
Answer:	Based off the research it did...it would appear that it does work with ATTACHED.
Question:	I'm setting up verizon internet connection, and my question is, can this google wifi-mesh replace verizon/fios home router g
Answer:	Sorry, tour answer is NO, the description clearly indicates it’s a Modem/Router which is not what was asked.
Question:	will it worl with Centurylink
Answer:	I do not think so.
Question:	does it works outside US
Answer:	Yes, I am using 3 at times. You should purchase a model with the same or greater speed as I think they run at the speed of the lowest model.
Question:	will it work with ATT u-verse
Answer:	In my case NOT as good as with a quality USB WiFi adapter and a good WiFi network. I get about 110-120Mbps across the kit and 300+Mbps with a Linksys AE6000 adapter.
Question:	Is this a modem only
Answer:	You can connect up to 16 powerline adapters in the same network. All connected devices will be visible to each other.
Question:	Can I plug into 220V socket
Answer:	I found this answer on their installation manual pdf. We don’t recommend using the PLA6456 with a 2 prong outlet. There will be significant performance hit when going from 3 prongs to 2 in most cases, and in addition 2-prong to 3-prong adapters may cause a fire hazard by not allowing the PLA6456 to sit flush with the wall.
Question:	I have 2 links now can i add a 3rd one
Answer:	It will work, tried it at a hotel that did not provide wifi and the internet jack in the wall was too far from where I needed to hook up my laptop.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many Port Forwards or Virtual Servers are supported? Most consumer class routers only allow 16-20, I need more than that
Answer:	No it does not- I received my order today (1/11/21) and it is the same one at my local grocery store.
Question:	Does this switch support link aggregation ? Looking to hook up a decent Synology NAS which has two Ethernet ports to utilize the higher throughput
Answer:	We do not. Only ship in the US
Question:	Is the radio power adjustable? I.e., can you turn the transmission power down for smaller areas
Answer:	No. It is a thick luscious syrup and does not leave any after taste like artificial sweeteners can. The only difference I can detect between it and real maple syrup is it does not seem quite as sweet.
Question:	Can I attach this to a cable modem and use simply as a router
Answer:	The Lavanko syrup is thinner and sweeter at first, but does have an off after taste and feeling on the tongue. This one is thicker and more like 'real' syrup but not as sweet at Lavanko or the real deal. I'm planning to try the other flavors to see if they are sweeter than this maple flavor version, but between the two, I choose this one over Lavanko.

User questions & answers

Question:	I recently upgraded to Verizon gigabit and the modem router they give is lackluster. Does this just connect via Ethernet to the modem
Answer:	Yes. Connect the R7800 to the FiOS router (they don't use modems) by attaching an ethernet cable to one of the FiOS router's LAN ports, and the other end to any of the ports on the R7800. Then set up the R7800 in AP mode, and disable the Wifi of the FiOS router (not critical, but neater). The FiOS router will assign all the IP addresses, and the R7800 will provide wireless services. Works like a charm. You can use the LAN ports of both the FiOS router and the R7800 for wired connections.
Question:	Is this device able to plug and play via ethernet cable from my cable modem to extend my cable wifi range
Answer:	Yes. All of these Netgear routers can either be used as range extenders OR wired into becoming the primary internet source for your home. The latter is actually recommended, if your cable modem is basic and/or sends a weaker than warranted WiFi signal.
Question:	what are the two bands
Answer:	2.4 and 5
Question:	I have 150mbps service will this router give me that if I do a speed text
Answer:	I don't own this router, but I'd agree with Apollo Grace. Anything that's going to be using this ethernet port will be bottlenecked at 100Mbit maximum. If you're just using this for WiFi only or if you don't mind a maximum speed of 100Mbit on the ethernet port, then buy it. But there are similar products out there for the same price range with Gigabit ports allowing the full WiFi speed to go through the ethernet ports. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AC1200-Smart-WiFi-Router/dp/B01IUDUJE0 (TP-Link Archer C1200) for example, and it's cheaper.

User questions & answers

Question:	password
Answer:	Yes. You can hardwire and chain multiple Google Wifi points together. You may visit our Google Wifi page for more information or reach out to our support on the same help page.
Question:	Hello! how many devices can connect to this and still keep the high wifi speeds? we have three cell phones, 1 roku, 1 wii u, pc, treadmill. thx
Answer:	No. Google Wifi already comes with a built-in reliable antenna. You may hardwire and chain multiple Google Nest Wifi routers and/or multiple Google Wifi points together since metal buildings will cause Wi-Fi signal interference. Please visit our Google Wifi support page to learn more with our self-help articles or contact our support team on the same page for further assistance.
Question:	Does this run hot? Any throttling or instability issues noticed under heavy usage
Answer:	Google Wifi 2020 is a dual band Wi-Fi mesh system. It has same capabilities with the 2016 model but with some design changes and improvement. Here are some: - Google Wifi 2016 has a USB-C power jack but Google Wifi 2020 has a Barrel jack. - The Google "G" logo on Google Wifi 2020 point is engraved, not printed. - The Google Wifi 2020 is sustainably designed with 49% of device plastic part weight is made with recycled material.
Question:	Does this wrt 3200 acm work with tomato firmware
Answer:	Yes it can. I have a Verizon router too and turned it off so as not to interfere with the Google WiFi mesh (you don't want to have two networks/NATs). I don't recommend these as they are not working properly for me after having them for a year and don't seem to be supported properly by Google as they are sending updates that work with their newer Nest Wifi. Best to use ero 6.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have spectrum, will it work? if so, do you really notice a difference
Answer:	I also have Spectrum also and it works great!
Question:	Is this router a tri band
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does the satellite unit have any ethernet ports
Answer:	No the Satellite does not have any Ethernet ports. The Router (base) has two gigabit Ethernet ports, one port for WAN (your cable modem) and one port for LAN (connect to a multiport switch, one hard wired device such as your laptop/desktop, a external backup hard drive, etc). I recommend connecting the LAN port to a Netgear 5-Port (model #GS205) or 8-Port (model #GS208) Unmanaged Switch. Each one is very in-expensive at $20 or less on Amazon. It’s a simple plug-and-play, no setup or configuration needed.
Question:	What's the difference between this unit (rbk20w) and the rbk30w? amazon says this is newer, but it is not on netgear's website
Answer:	There is no RBK30W model. Drop the W and there is an RBK30 model. It is identical in almost every specification as the RBK20W, the only difference being that the RBK30 has 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports (1 WAN and 3 LAN) while the RBK20 has 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports (1 WAN and 1 LAN). And there is a difference in price, $249.99 ($199.99 on sale now at Amazon) for RBK30 and $199.99 ($179.99 on sale now at Amazon) for RBK30W. Other than that they are identical.
