what are router model and firmware requirements?
1969400
I just received mine the other day, it's a self contained unit the router model number and password pop up on your tv when it's plugged in, use these once you've downloaded the EZcast app to gain access, the dongle creates a wifi network that links to your computer and mobile device. The firmware in the dongle is updatable and that runs the programming. you also need a semi smart phone to interact with it (I have a 4G LTE, it's not that smart but the app works if ignore the system update warnings) it works with streaming videos, not seamlessly, but watchable and transmits the sound well. My attempts at sharing the screen while playing games on steam have failed so far. While I'm give advise I might as well add that getting a 'L' HDMI extender plug might be worth it, the media beam dongle sticks horizontally out of the back of the flat screen, reducing the screens ability to be flat. (protrudes an extra 10 cm now) hope that helps

looks like you should be able to download and flash to an older firmware, poster in comments says it works, http://en.code-bude.net/2013/01/29/how-to-build-a-20dollar-low-cost-openwrt-router-flash-openwrt-to-tp-link-wr703n/ Earlier firmware links found here with some advice, http://penturalabs.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/blue-for-the-pineapple/ All kinds of advice and mods here, http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n#gps.tracking.example

Also consult Sveasoft.com They require a $20 subscription, but they developed the original firmware and also have firmware upgrade for ASUS, Belkin and Buffalotech wireless routers.

just install it like a modem and connect it to your router. You will need your modem password from your ISP company.

Yes. This is supported by dd-wrt. You can type in "asus" here and see that this model is fully supported. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database Also, security is the best reason to use dd-wrt on any router you can. If you've listened to the tech news lately you know that home routers firmware tend to be full of bugs that aren't always fixed and home routers are becoming a major attack vector. It isn't worth it for most manufacturers to continue to update their older routers firmware b/c they want you to purchase new one. So yes, it is supported and, yes it is important. :)

Thanks for your reply. I did buy a new wireless router, but I don't know if it supports dd-wrt firmware. I did get the printer working again after talking to the Brother customer service rep. It was an issue with the IP address. Brother has the best support I have ever used. You speak to an English speaking rep. who actually works through the issues with you. they don't just read the text from a notebook. It is refreshing to known a company still values customer service.

I don't know if I would necessarily draw the conclusion that the router is no good. Wireless network setup can befuddle most novice users (and can even make experienced users pull their hair out). The #1 mistake most of the reviewers on here make is that they don't upgrade the firmware as the first step. That goes for any router though. It took me about 2 days of research before deciding in this router. I just ordered it though, and it won't arrive until Wednesday, so I can't give you my feedback on it yet.

With my old faulty unit, every time I use the router management utility, i had to restart many times. With the new unit, I simply did not update firmware and it looks fine so far

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

Maryanne, I haven't used it yet, just got it a few weeks ago and haven't used it. I picked it up for small router not sure yet. When I do I will post..

This version is ready to run. It contains the routerboard RB2011, pre-assmebled into the pictured enclosure with the antennas and touchscreen LCD attached. I recommend getting a couple of MMCX to SMA pigtails if you want to upgrade the stock antennas. Also upgrade the RouterOS version to the most recent if it's out of date.

I ordered on Friday and received today (09.21.09). I received a v2. I, however, want to use DD-WRT firmware on this device and as I sit here, it is working fine with default Linksys software after a couple attempts with DD-WRT (no success).

You do need a router. The time depends on the resolution and frames per second.

contact Actiontec. They will be able to tell you if their router is compatible with your system and/or is a good replacement for what you currently have

I don't know if there is firmware update available. I am using it as a repeater so I can use the lan port for a desktop computer without wireless.

Amazon sells the 3300 in v2 for the United States. I just purchased one and that's what it is. I upgraded the firmware by downloading it from the Netgear website, and while there I noticed it seems that v1 may be just a router without the DSL modem built in, or it has a DSL modem based on different coding standards than are used in the US.
