I have u-verse internet and tv. I have a ewire router, a cisco WAP. Should I leave the Cisco WAP alone for the tv, and just add this for my internet?

I also have Uverse. If you go with the UniFi AP I recommend to continue using the the 2wire, configure the settings on the UniFi the same as the 2wire settings e.g. security method, password, etc. except make sure you turn off DHCP. I think some of the people who are having problems getting it configured to work properly are not doing this.

You can, UBi is powerful enough to handle a lots of traffic, so will be enough for all but you can leave separate too

You should dump all your other AP and use the UniFi as the primary unit connected to your main router. It comes with excellent wireless controller software that is very full featured and one unit per floor should cover an average home. The units load balance and self update automatically.

Personally I would switch the cisco out as well. You lose all the benefit and power of Ubiquiti software capabilities with only 1 access point. Ubiquiti is designed to be true enterprise grade that gives you the ability to add 100 of these and have them appear as 1 wireless network. Ubiquiti's strong point is the included management software used to set these up. Your devices will automatically connect to the WAP with the highest signal. You can do what you wish, and it would certainly work as you describe, but having an enterprise grade management console is pretty darn cool. I have three of these in my home .

No, you need a router. A switch basically expands the number of ethernet connections on your router. So far I'm having issues with this switch because it kills the wireless connection to my computer... or makes it run REALLY slow. I subscribed to the new U-verse package from AT&T. They had to install the router inside the closet of my master bedroom due to the way my house is wired. Anyway, I have a xbox 360 and a playstation 3 that I wanted to connect directly to the router (wireless sucks for video game consoles). My router is downstairs, and my consoles are upstairs, so they installed an ethernet outlet upstairs (connects directly to the router). Since I only have ONE ethernet outlet and I don't want to have to unplug and plug in the cables every time I switch between the xbox 360 and ps3, so the U-verse technician advised me to buy this switch. So I have two video game consoles attached to the switch, and I have my computer connected via wireless. The switch apparently hogs the connection, rendering my wireless connection to my computer useless... I have to unplug my switch in order to surf the internet. It's ridiculous. I'll be returning this switch and have a tech install another ethernet outlet.

Yes, you do need an internet provider. Our Netgear router has really worked wonderfully. We have several computers and two televisions working off it. We are using Roku to pick up Netflix on the individual television sets, since they are not smart TV's. My son is a computer specialist and he told me the Netgear router was tops. Very pleased.

I have u-verse 2 wire modem. I have no problems with this modem. I configured the Trendnet to have it's own static IP address from my 2 wire IP . I also like that you can have up to 4 individual wireless addresses running at on time. Gave each family member their own wireless address.

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.

I did some checking with an engineer colleague who has Verizon FIOS service. Both of us work for Cisco in digital video technology. Cisco is a Verizon vendor and provide many of the equipment Verizon uses. To the best of your knowledge, is your existing setup something like the following: ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;TVs/STBs ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;VERIZON MODEM If so, then yes. I believe it is possible that you can replace the VERIZON modem with the ACTIONTEC. The FIOS modem is not actually a modem at all but instead a MoCA adapter. Being that, you should be able to replace the FIOS adapter/modem with the ACTIONTEC Home Theater Coax Network Adapter. Not only but if you have multiple coax jacks in your house, you can install an ACTIONTEC adapter at each. The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) on the side of your house takes the optical data stream VERIZON sends from its' plants/VHOs then converts and modulates the TV services data stream portion to cable TV frequencies so it can be distributed throughout you house over the existing coaxial cable in your wall. For internet service, it does the same thing but utilizes the MoCA frequencies of the spectrum for internet. Given that MoCA is a cable TV standard, any MoCA device should be able to work. I installed two of these device in my second home because wifi reception and service was poor. I have a D-Link DIR898L wireless router. However because walls are of reinforced masonry construction, much of the wifi signal from the wireless router is mostly blocked.

Yes, I have mine hooked up from the wall, to the ADSL2, to a Cisco router. Multiple laptops, multiple iPads, and multiple iPhones connect just fine to my Cisco router and have internet connectivity.

Hi Kassi Mae.If you already have an existing broadband DSL or cable Internet connection, you may just purchase a router. You may want to check out our new line-up of routers and see which one suits you. Please follow this link: http://home.cisco.com/en-us/products/wirelessrouters?icid=global-header-products-linkYou may still get the X2000 if you already have an existing DSL or cable Internet connection.Thanks.Cisco-Linksys Supporthttp://homesupport.cisco.com

I have U-verse router 2Wire071, Model 3801-HGV and it works. There are 2 set up options: 1.Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and 2. Using a web browser. I used the web browser on my wireless tablet. My router is on the second floor and I placed the extender in the center of the house on the main floor. Now I get a much better signal for Netflix on my main floor as well as a wireless computer in the basement.

Based on the way you phrased your question, it seems that your TV is WiFi capable without an adapter. In that case you do not need the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter and all you would need to do is to configure your TV to communicate with your router. If, however, your TV does not have built-in wireless capability, but has an Ethernet port, the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter will work. Both the adapter and the TV will need to be properly configured.

Hi.If you already have an existing network and multiple computers are already connecting, then you already have a router system at your home. Your modem may already have routing functions built-in to it. In that case you wont need to get a router.Thanks.Cisco-Linksys Supporthttp://homesupport.cisco.com

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

you dont need anything if you have the G router already working. high Def might suffer bout youll be able to stream no problem. N on the TV is just saying its got the latest wireless technology but G will also work.

Hi Kavannah.Online video streaming would not be a problem for both these routers. If you want to know more about differences between our E-Series routers, we'd like to share with you a comparison chart.

I'm sorry. I don't know. We have cisco wifi in the house so haven't needed to find one.

Your options are A) move the router closer to the bedroom B) replace the antennas on the router - if they are replaceable - with larger/higher gain antennas or C) install a wifi booster. Cisco/Linksys makes one for about $30 and it works pretty well. The Unifi Long Range AP is a great device but if you go for it, I suggest turning off the wifi on your router. Otherwise, you'll be creating two different wireless networks and moving between them may be problematic.

no, but you should disable wireless on you ISP supplied router and just use open mesh. You may want more units to get better WIFI coverage.
