Can one use this downstream from a Verizon ActionTec router (assuming one shuts off wireless on the ActionTec and makes it function just as a modem)?

Yes. I have a Uverse router and the adults and TV are on that router and the kids are on skydog. I chose not to disable our existing Uverse router, but you could do it if you wanted.

Yes, we have many customers that use Skydog downstream from an ISP router. You will need to turn off Wi-Fi and make it function as a modem like you stated and then have all of your devices connected to Skydog.

I have a similar setup using ATT Uverse. I basically just disabled the routing function of the uverse router/modem and let skydog do the work.

No,but Actiontec due carry a Verizon FiOS model. This one is only for Verizon DSL users. If you can't find on Amazon, try asking Verizon for the Actiontec FiOS model. Also, if your existing modem is defective they will replace free of charge, just make sure you return older defective model.Good luck.

Yes but you need to make some changes to the TP Link. Here is a site with instructions: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ConfiguringTwoWirelessRoutersWithOneSSIDNetworkNameAtHomeForFreeRoaming.aspx I did it with my FIOS router.

I don't know about u-verse, but I use this with a Verizon FiOS Actiontec router to get more ports without any problems. I also use a smaller Netgear 4-port switch with an IOGear Universal Wi-Fi N adapter to connect with my DirecTV receivers and other network ready video equipment (like TV and Blu-Ray players).

I would lean towards no. Tried using this in a Verizon router which was connected to a WD TB external HD powered by a/c. I guess worth a try for a couple bucks but then again I'm sure that is why this person is making enough money to keep on selling them....because the price is low enough that if it doesn't work it goes straight in the garbage can.

I am using this device as a wireless lan extender and it is working out just fine. I do not know if it functions as well as a wireless access point without a wireless router in place.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

Yes but only if your modem/gateway has WIFI for the REA20 to connect. The unit will not act as a router though the routing would be taken over by your modem.

I assume you have DSL instead of cable and are looking for a DSL modem/router to combine the modem, wired and wireless in one package. The Linksys X2000 is awful, constantly dropping the connection. I've had better luck with Actiontec GT784WN. Great setup software and support. TP-Link TD-W8960N was OK, but support is non-existent and the interface is overly complex.

Yes, you should be able to do this, although I am not sure you've got the correct order of connection, it should be, DSL Modem > Router> switch > Devices... I have my PS3,AppleTV,Yamaha Receiver, and DirecTv connected to this switch, and the switch itself to my router and my router connected to my ISP Modem. it provides a much better and stable connection for improved streaming.

You could if you wanted to; the upstream router would get none of the Skydog functionality. You would just need an Ethernet cable, nothing special.

I'm using the ZyXEL WRE2205 with an Actiontec modem/router combo. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. I have not had a problem with loss of wireless via the ZyXEL extender.

No. The reason is that the ActionTec is designed to handle mix of ActionTec router sending out information over Ethernet connected to one ActionTec unit in this listing over coax cable instead of cat 5 or 6 network cable. But using the same coax cable for the TV antenna signals plus Ethernet does not mix. Yes you can solve that with more special devices, but in this case you are better off running a separate antenna cable, as that is the less expensive solution.

I'm sorry but this is strictly a modem. I bought a wireless router to go with it. I mistakenly answered yes, so i you got a yes from me oops it's a NO. This is strictly a modem.

It'll work pretty much with any service as long as the U-Verse box is MoCA compliant. Unless, of course, you just want to use the RG6 to carry the signal and run Ethernet directly off of this ACTIONTEC, then, yes, it'll work just fine!

It works off of WiFi. You should be able to get a wireless router for your dsl modem.
