I've heard that this wifi module doesn't necessarily work with all wifi routers. Is there an up to date list of compatible routers available anywhere?

It works with most of the routers. Unless your router is very old more than 5 years you should not have a problem with any router. I just installed this a few months ago, and have it set up WPA for my wireless LINKSYS and also for direct wire RJ45 to a CISCO. I also set it up originally for use with my Verizon FIOS wireless that they installed with the system (can not remember but think it is Motorola) in any case it works well with this. If you have a very new router that only supports WPA2 IE is not backward compatible you should not have a problem. You can always fall back to WEP if you have trouble with the newer security Protocols. Not likely anyone that is going to be breaking into your home is going to be able to disable any of the protocols. Most like may rip them out but hopefully by then the system will have done it job. I connected this and the wireless phone add in just in case. Hope this helps

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

While not officially listed in the table of hardware &lt;http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start&gt; at this time (August 3, 2014), that does not mean that it is not supported, it just means that no one has tested it extensively yet. Similar routers (WNDR*) seem to have varying levels of support. Remember that installing OpenWRT often voids manufacturer warranties. If you want to attempt to install OpenWRT on this device, have a look around the forums to see if there is anyone else has attempted the same thing. If the installation fails, you could end up with a (potentially permanently) $70 paperweight. There are ways of recovering these "bricked" routers, but, depending on how badly it was bricked, you may need serial or JTAG (I cannot say for sure if this router has either, but other routers in its family do) to unbrick it. Granted, that's the worst case scenario. I fixed my bricked WRT54G with just a Mac and an ethernet cable. If you are going to jump in, some guidelines: Know your router's RAM size, Flash size, Processor, and Wireless Chipset. Find a routers that ARE listed with similar hardware and look to those directions (as a group) for guidance. Of those, the two biggest things are the processor and the flash. The flash needs to be big enough to hold the firmware image, and the processor has to be able to run it. Atheros builds don't generally work on Broadcom, and vice versa, for example. Even within a processor brand, sometimes there are differences between models. Make especially sure that the build is listed as being compatible with the processor. -- As a general note, these guidelines could apply to any router that is not listed on the hardware table.

Yes. It works perfectly with my Netgear router. Also has Bluetooth. I have had no issues using either wi-fi or Bluetooth.

I'm not sure if this will work with your specific rig, but I haven't ha an easy time with this wifi card. I was having problems with the previous one and I figured this would solve the problem and it hasn't. I'd strongly consider the intel equivalent, although it's more money I think it's more compatible with routers and computers hardware and software. I could be completely wrong and your computer is different from mine. I have an Asus laptop with high end graphics and an i7. If post on a forum if someone hasn't already answered your question.

it should be compatible with any router that supports the 802.11 bgn standards

AirPort Extreme does not work with a non Apple product or router. I just had this same problem & called Apple. I am returning the AirPort Extreme and getting a dual band router with an extender that is the same make as the router. Then they will work together....I hope.

I used a Netgear Router but my understanding about how it works is that any brand of router should work.Bruce

I have a Cisco Linksys wireless router. It works great.. Everyone I know is easily connected when they come to my house with their ipads, etc...

Yes, this is a universal extender and will work with virtually any wireless router! (Note however that this is not a cable modem/router; it is a signal extender)

Any one in this forum happen to know if firmware update is available for Linksys E1000 to support 802.11n final spec? Thanks

I had the same question - I did find this ... The first thing to get out of the way is - like past Wi-Fi standards - 802.11ac is backwards compatible with 802.11b, g and n. This means you can buy an 802.11ac-equipped device and it will work just fine with your existing router. Read more at http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/802-11ac-vs-802-11n-what-s-the-difference

I did. works fine. make sure your router is configured right. I had to plug it into a LAN port instead of the wan port

I use an Airport Extreme and it works great. Initial setup requires a copper connection to configure the wireless adapter but after that no problems.

You have to check if your connections match the antennae connections. I am not familar with your router. One time I fitted a Linksys router with these antennae, flashed the router with DD-WRT, then plugged the Linksys router into the Quest Router (a crappy OEM router, maybe similar to your Verizon router) and used the new router as the main wireless router since it had the upgraded antennae. So there is the long way to get these antennae "attached" to a crappy OEM router that doesn't actually accept the antennae.
