Is the router safe or can someone not in my network use my wi-fi?

this router is like all others. if you set up the wifi with WPA2, you will not have issues with anyone using your wifi. remember to change the admin password of your router also.

You may not believe me but you can be close to your router and still not pick up Wi-Fi.....out of the 2 tabs that I bought 1 is not picking up Wi-Fi at all

yes when you log in to router with 192.168.1.1 (default) username: admin (default) pass: password. there is a option called wireless settings in that you can give your wireless a name and assign passphrase so it can be secured and nobody else can use it.

Sorry, but this switch is part of your home network. As long as your router is secured properly it is as secure as your remaining home network.

Sorry, not sure what type of security you're looking for but the ISP should provide that. I'm not aware of any security features and nothing mentioned in the owners manual.

Yes. Just don't plug it up to a switch on the network or else you'll have an additional IP to worry about.

Yes...it depends on the type of connection you are using. My husband is staying in a long term hotel and using the free WiFi and he has troubles keeping a connection. However, at home, connecting to our router, he has no problems at all. Keep looking for a stronger connection.

I have not experienced a wi-fi connectivity issue. We have 2 systems running on the same router. The first thing I would try is uninstall then reinstall your router, make certain someone in your neighborhood is not using your wi-fi connection (unbeknownst to you). Depending on how long you've had your current wi-fi router - perhaps an updated router could help. Talk to the folks who manufactured the router etc.

I don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

Yeah this can work once you have access to your router outside your network that this device is connected to and you should be fine

Yes. I use mine to verify that certain employees are present and on site. Very dependable and somewhat easy to setup on my wireless router. UPnP is the easiest.

As long as they do not have crazy high complex authentications like Enterprise WPA2 PEAP you should be fine. My complex had such authentication requiring a username and password so this did not work (nor could I find any WISP router that works). Did work though to allow me to use someones Comcast WiFi without my wireless devices riding on his WiFi connection, only used his bandwidth for web use, not things like file transfers or WiFi printing.

No. This item has been used. But this one I received is almost new. You must contact your Internet provider with ip address from the router before it can work for you.

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

Some wireless routers I know come with manufacturer's standard default admin username and password, and the wireless signal is unprotected out of the box -- no security setting enabled by default. This router has a unique username/password combination for each device (as opposed to the same username and password for a model line or even all wireless routers from the same manufacturer) and the Wi-Fi signal is secured out of the box protecting you from any possible hijacking while trying to configure it. I will also suggest completing configuration before plugging it on the ISP network. This applies to Trendnet AC1200. I am assuming the AC1750 is defaulted to the same settings but I have not physically seen it.

Only if he gives you permission and a password, otherwise it could be more expensive than paying for your own net access. My wifi systems (I have three) store users MAC addresses, time and date , IP's accessed, and even allows me to put a block anything with that MAC. It is not to hard to discover who owns the device with a MAC. Once you have the MAC, any sniffer can sort out the user's data stream and expose passwords, e-mails, amongst everything. Don't do it unless you have their permission, it is a closed system, and you can trust them. Avoid open wifi systems as anyone sniffing can see your data.

My wifi is located downstairs and the kids can be upstairs on the other side of the house with no problems. haven't tested exactly how far they can go, but hope this helps!
