Can this router support 3 phones, 2 laptops, and an Xbox One connected over Wi-Fi without a big slow-down?

This depends more on your internet connection than your local network, but I can tell you with a fast internet feed that I can watch Netflix on a Roku browse on a tablet stream music and my wife using the system for work does not notice any effects

Yes. Do note that if you're referring to internet speeds with 6 devices connected to it, it's wayyy more up to your internet service and possibly (but not likely) the modem provided to you from your ISP (internet service provider).

The extender would pair with one wireless router. It won't be able to boost signal from 2 wireless routers.

As JC said there are a lot of variables here. In a general sense mine seemed to handle 5-10 devices fairly well and was probably the best performing home router I owned. Ultimately I switched due to the difficulty of putting this router into bridge mode. It would probably be an awesome router if flashed with DD-WRT, which didn't occur to me at the time.

That should be no problem. I have 15 to 20 devices connected with no problems. This assumes wireless and not wired. It has 4 ports for wired connections although you should be able to expand that with a switch (which I also have).

Yes. You plug your main ethernet (coming from router/modem) into the device and then you can hook up up to 4 other devices. I have the main line coming into port 1 and then port 2 and 3 are outgoing to my computer and xbox and i have the option to plug in two more devices if i ever need to

My guess would be "yes," especially if, say, your router is in the middle of the house and the extenders are at opposite ends of the house. That way, your wireless devices would "see" only one extender and there would be no interference.

I have had the N900 for almost 2 and a half years and I am finding the limitation is really the number of devices and the amount of data it can handle. I am streaming HD content to 2 Xbox360's and 3 streams from an HD Home Run Prime Cable card tuner. I had to put both Xbox360's on the wired Ethernet because the wireless could not handle it. That is why I am looking at the AC68u.

Yes. I have two of this in an old computer i'm using as advanced router between 3 different networks. Both are working at 1000 full duplex, onboard interface just 100 full duplex.

I don't know. It can network 4 wired connections + wireless. It works for my stereo receiver, HDTV, and computers. I don't own a game system.The intent of this router is to not lose connectivity to an online game when someone downloads a big file. So the big file downloads slower, but you get to keep playing without lag.

I think so, but it also depends on the speed you get from your ISP. With my old G-router (rated at 54 Mbps), I did not realize I only got 7 Mbps wirelessly, so I wasn't taking advantage of the full speed from my ISP. With this new router at home, I only uses 2 computer/laptops at any given time, plus VoIP phone, and I have no problems with bandwidth.

Yes you can! This router will have 4 Ethernet ports and you can connect additional devices with a switch, as well as wireless devices to the Wi-Fi connection.

Yes, I have the bolt ant use it to connect my MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone, another laptop and our wii! With no issues or slowness in speed when most of the devices are connected at the same time ;)

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

You can connect as many devices as you have. The biggest question would be how many of those are using it at the same time. This is where the higher bandwidth (cable, fiber, etc..) handle it better. I personally have my Xbox, computer, Nook HD tablet, and three of our cell phones connected to this all the time and my speeds are wonderful. And I am only using the lower band. If the router is decently close to your devices make sure and connect them to the 5 Ghz band. .. you will notice the difference. All in all it has been the best router I have used yet for the money.

Yes you can connect up to 4 computers from one Ethernet port, Ive never had any problems with it

Yes, you can connect 3 computers to this router through the wireless network. As a matter of fact, Sapido routers have no limit on the number of wireless clients that they connect to, which means you can connect as many wireless enabled devices (e.g., laptops/computers, Smartphones (iPhones, Android phones, Blackberries, etc.), tablets (iPad, etc.)) as you want to Sapido routers.

I use it in conjunction with a 1st router. So if this is what you mean, the answer is yes.
