Can I connect directly from my Netgear N600 dual band modem/router to this N300 network extender so that the N300 can provide better wifi?

Yes you can. It's as simple as pressing a button of the extender while in close proximity to the net gear router and they should "pair" up. The only thing is that your router needs to be setup to broadcast the SSID or it wouldn't work. That was fine in my case since I use a hard to guess network password

The best way to connect to your router is with wps button now as I have said this thing is not worth the effort because it will drop the connection often and they want you to pay for support there is no update for the firmware

On my model, NT-WRPT there is on in put port for the internet so I do not see how this would work for you. My opinion is to go a more traditional wifi router.

I am using a wi-fi extender that has an Ethernet port for connecting the R-N500. I had to move the extender a few feet to stop connection failures and it seems to work fine now.

The N300 receives a wireless signal in a WiFi System. If you already have a Router providing that wireless signal, you are all set.

Hi Wendy, What you are looking for is actually the NetGear N450 *Cable Modem*, which is different than this product. The product is available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-Wi-Fi-Cable-Router-N450-100NAS/dp/B00HC0ZDOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390691485&sr=8-1&keywords=Netgear+N450+CG3000Dv2. This product is just a router, and does not have the necessary ports to connect to your cable internet service. The N450 in both product names refers to the max wifi connection speed (450 Mbps).

If you check the Time Warner Cable modem compatibility list. NetGear CG3000D has to be hardware Version 2. Otherwise, it may not work.

My extender is linked with Netgear router. I do have a linksys router in another location that I use with a linksys extender and that is very good as well. I made the choice to match router and extender to the same brand and I am pleased with the results.

My high speed cable router is a Cisco E3000 and it works fine with the Netgear N300 unit. I don't see any reason the AT&T router would be any different in performance as long as your broadband provides adequate speed. I can run internet TV channels, youtube, and music services just fine with the Netgear N300. There are two address set up methods (1) Connect the N300 to your computer and set up the address (I used this option which was very easy), (2) Connect the N300 to your stereo receiver and set it up using the interface on your unit (I would think this method varies depending on the end ethernet's device interface ability). I hope this helps -- good luck. // Bill

this is NOT a range extender, this a WIFI Router it has to be connected directly to the modem with a LAN cable to work.

The extender should be somewhere in between the device you are trying to connect and the router. It'll essentially double the range of your WiFi ( if placed in the right place) But it will slow down its speed tremendously.

I don,t use routers. It will work but only at 300 baud. I would go for the 600b extender.

Sorry I have no idea, but Netgear's website is very helpful! (www.netgear.com)

Your question doesn't make sense without more information Susan. A Netgear N300 can handle hundreds of clients, but if you mean that with 10 concurrently using wifi it bogs down, that is a limitation of wifi itself which would be present with any 11n wifi router. If you mean wired (ethernet) clients, again you have higher bandwidth LAN going to lower bandwidth WAN (internet) so all clients compete for available bandwidth. However, if you reflash this (or another compatible model) to DD-WRT firmware (a web search will provide info on doing so), you can set up QOS to prioritize or deprioritize certain types of traffic and/or client systems. Another thing you can do is set up more than one wifi access point, for example your Netgear plus this one, set up on different channels a few numbers apart, then split up wifi client systems between them to balance the wifi load, with some connecting to this and others connecting to the Netgear. I may be barking up the wrong tree. More information would help but generally speaking your Netgear N300 should have been able to handle 10 clients with something else whether it be wifi standards or your internet connection, being the bottleneck. Keep in mind that if your Netgear, or any consumer grade router or switch for that matter, is a few years old then it may be suffering from damage, particularly capacitor rot becomes an insidious problem as they approach 5 years old and beyond (Or shorter in hotter environments) and effective throughput will begin to decrease as lack of hardware stability starts to cause lost packets and a large # of resends. I have owned many Netgear products and find that sometimes it is the router or switch itself and other times their wall wart AC-DC adapter which becomes flaky. On those I had with a flaky adapter, it was a very common 12V, 1A with a standard polarity DC barrel jack so it wasn't hard to find a suitable replacement lying around to test whether that helped.

I was asking myself the same question as I am also an AT&T Uverse user considering the purchase of this extender. On reading through the reviews posted on Amazon, I found the following.............. Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender (Personal Computers) Finally!! An extender that just plugs in and works perfectly! If you have a 2Wire 3800 HGV-B, get this extender, because it will work, and work great. I first bought the Hawking HWREN1 extender, and after spending hours trying to get it to work, it would repeatedly disconnect. After calling customer service, I was told that it won't work with 2Wire products. So frustrating! Next, I bought the Engenius ERB9250 extender, and that wouldn't work either. Their customer service was atrocious. I couldn't connect to anyone for technical support; despite calling back repeatedly, all I got was a voicemail message. I would never buy another product from them. All I did with this extender is plug it in, push the WPS button on my router and on the extender, and it connects. Then, you just connect to the new address, which is your SSID + EXT. And that's it. I'm very happy with the product.

No clue. In general, they should all be compatible. as long as the Netgear is 802.11b/g/n compatible. But I cannot promise anything! We recently replaced ours with a Belkin N300 range extender, and have been very happy with it.

Yes, but the Cisco software is not very good and Netgear R6300 performs faster...

Sure, The easiest is adding a USB based adapter like the NetGear N150. No fuss.
