Is this router good enough to be used in the next room with a laptop and Kindle Fire HD? THANK YOU!

I can only get wi-fi off this on basically shared walls. Does not reach further in the home :(

I use it with a laptop 2+ rooms away, and also use it with tablets. No problems with reception. I live on the 4th floor and get wifi reception from the ground level (although it's only 2 bars)

Yes, it is. I have my router in a bedroom, and I use my Kindle in the kitchen. My son is visiting and has been using his laptop in the living room.

Any wireless wifi capable device will work with this router.You need Verizon DSL now called HSI in order for it to work.It will connect automatically, if you already have their service. If you're not familiar with setting up certain features such as port forwarding you can call their customer service reps for further assistance.However you don't need to port forward with this device, but you'll need to create a device name and a password for your HSI in order for your Kindle to work. You have to copy that same information to your kindles device under wifi settings.Yes,its also b,gand n capable.Please check your settings under wireless setting to make sure its set to b,g or n.or all 3.Good luck.

We have 1 desktop,2 laptops,2 Smart TVs,2 iPhones 1 Wii console,1 DVR and a tablet in our house. Five or more of these devises are connected at any one time with no problems. The only problem we had at first was it dropping our WiFi connection but with a 15 minute call to Belkin to change 2 settings and the problem was fixed. This is a great router.

That is exactly what I did. It sits up stairs in the middle of the house. Router is downstairs at one end of the house. I was having issues getting wifi upstairs to the opposite side of the house. Now I connect to this instead and have no issues having great wifi upstairs or downstairs. Can have issues if portable device is attached to upstairs(this device) and device is on opposite floor. This has not been an issue for my family of 5 or our devices. Works great!

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. I,ve had absolutely no problem downloading books for my wife's kindle using this router since Christmas.

hey,thank you for your advice. first of all i have a linksys router so that would be a problem. seems like these deals are not that good and too much for a computer newbie such as me :)

i have a desktop and a laptop. the laptop is connected through the router. i would think kindle fire would connect with the router. you could try customer service to be sure, they are fairly knowledgeable.

This router is dual band too. It should be able to handle 16 devices well, if the location of the router is within the range of the devices (300 ft line of sight, less across walls).

If any router will I have to believe this one will.It does a great job of finding wireless devices.I just don't know how you can tell what you are doing without a computer.You might want to see if a friend will loan you a laptop so you can set it up.

Thank you! I appreciate the info. We'll be using our home wireless router (N).

I'm about 30 yards away and upstairs from my router and I get full strength signal. It's fairly good. Just make sure you use the latest drivers from their website, and not the included disk. Also be sure to set your power settings such that it doesn't turn off USB to save power, and set your USB device settings for full power on your port. This will be best on a USB 3.0 port, but still gets great speed on a 2.0 port.

This is underpowered for a router table, imho. You'll need to go up to one of the over 3HP routers for a table. I suppose you could run it in a table, but it will struggle with larger size bits.

That's what we use it for, (kindle, ps3, cell phone, lap top) basic home use. We've had for several months and are very satisfied. No complaints. I think we've reset it one time. I think it will be good for your described use, and it's very easy to set up.

Yes, definitely. I own the Asus RT-N66U Dual Band router (often called the "Dark Knight") and this is what I've attached to mine. Stronger WiFi signal strength and much greater range was immediately noticed. Previously, I couldn't effectively use my downstairs Sony Blu-Ray DVD WiFi features before I installed them. With these 3 online, my Living room TV is now a happy streaming movie theater.

I would not recommend this modem. It works on my laptop, but was very hard to set up. I do not use Kindle, but were I setting up another Cricket modem I would go for the 3G version (EC1705?) You will need to research this to avoid a huge headache. Good Luck!
