Does this router ship in an easy open brown card board box and is it backward compatible with g- technology ? ?Could it work with a wi-fi g printer

Mine (brand new) shipped shrink-wrapped in a retail (mostly white with some red) box. It wasn't difficult to open. It will work with a 802.11g wifi printer (I use my g printer with it).

this is from a8mark again when i had it hooked up i did`t have the router working yet. it was hooked up but was`t set up yet. but i did have it plugged into the router and it did work with my printer. someone gave me an Ethernet router so i went with that instead so my nephew could use his x-box. but i don`t see why it would`t work. cause your coming thru the router and then hook your printer right to your computer. with your printer hooked to computer ur computer will detect the printer after you run the c.d. for the printer

Yes, as long as it is set up that way. I believe B/G compatibility is set as default. On the router GUI, see the Wireless &gt; General tab for the b/g protection checkbox.

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).

Yes. It has wifi - In fact, it has wireless N - which means it's FAST- all wifi works with all wifi - yes it will work with your current wireless router. We call this in the tech world backwards/forwards compatibility - all wifi works with all wifi (to keep it really simple). I won't go into the differences between B,G, and N because for a non-tech, it doesn't matter. Know that it's good and smile :-). In ADDITION to that, it ALSO has Bluetooth. It's a great computer (I own it)- it will be great for most video games if your son likes to play computer games. In fact, this computer is faster than some so called "gaming computers" I saw advertised. This is like a new Lexus LS400 that will beat an old mustang- it may not say GT on the side but it's fast. Your son will likely love it (if he doesn't want a laptop instead). The Bluetooth will be good for wireless headphones and wireless keyboards and things like that should you want to take advantage that capability. So.. Bluetooth: For wireless keyboards/mice etc, wireless stereo headphones (this is called A2DP). It does other things too but I don't want to add confusion by saying too much. Wifi: connects you to the internet - this one has the faster wifi called 802.11N. It doesn't matter though- it will connect to any router you have- you don't have to go buy a new wireless N router. This computer has both Bluetooth AND wifi which makes it GOOD. The Bluetooth changes nothing about how you will connect to the internet- same as before.

Same as G Nerd Boy G.I ordered on the 12th I believe, and I received notification it shipped on the 15th. It just left my local UPS hub, but does not say out for delivery... confuses me since it's a Saturday but it has no reason to be on a truck right now.The scheduled delivery date is the 18th -- I'll keep you guys updated =)

It works fine with other routers. I have it connected to my D-Link DGL-4300 with no issues.

The router boxed is intact when came to me by USPS. So, don't worry about the security. No extra cost.

Actually he answer is kinda NO. It runs off 802.11 B or G but MOST N routers support G as well. The airport extreme obviously does. Just wanted to clarify incase you had JUST a wireless N router which is pretty uncommon I believe.

I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1. I fully expected that the V1 stock had run out from Netgear by now and they would be refurbishing V2's only. But this DealFisher must still have some old V1's to move out. So it is luck of the draw. I'm debating about keeping since that price is so low compared to new V2. And eventually, I'll upgrade one of these to a Nighthawk R6 or something that really has lot more power. It's only the farthest corner of my house that could use the Beamforming benefit. Also, I have no need of the USB 3.0 since I don't attach a hard drive or printer to these routers. I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1.

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.

You have to order an IEEE 802,11a/g Wireless Interface Type L with it. It costs an additional $350. So far I have found the printer to be a very good one without any unusual issues. The print quality is excellent. I did not buy the wireless as I did not need it.

I believe it will work with a wireless card. We have not set ours up this way but it is possible. I read this in the sales literature which nay help if you google it. "Optional Wireless and Parallel ... Optional IEEE 802.11a/g and Gigabit ... SD Interfaces." IEEE 802.11a/g Interface Unit Type MWireless LAN interface unitI think that is the card you need that goes in the printer. Hope that helps

Hi. I used DD-WRT and Tomato, and they both work seamlessly with the Belkin. Tomato has less features I wasn't impressed with the GUI layout. I was able to compile some USB drivers and get additional devices working on DD WRT. I was also able to solder some internal pins to get the serial/RS232 to connect. These are great routers for the money!

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

Yes, but unlike most printers these days, it has no WiFi, but if your priority is value for printing on card stock I think this printer is unbeatable... I hear they're very durable. My first Oki 20 years ago, turned out to be a great printer, so I'm thinking this is what the company strives for... durability at low cost in exchange for not having the latest bells and whistles.. for business use, I'm good with that.

Robert, I do own this printer, there are a few things I can tell you. First Suzanne is giving you incorrect info. The printer has both Wi-Fi capability for Wi-Fi devices and standard USB to printer cable for non Wi-Fi devices such as desktops. It does not have a network card, you must have router/modem combination through a service provider because the printer connects to internet with only a Ethernet cable. Once connected to a router via Ethernet cable you can choose to use the Wi-Fi or USB option, or both. I assume by network card that you mean internet through a removable card like that for a laptop, again it does not have that. I am confused by your copy question about glass and copy feeder. It will do double sided printing automatically if you would like it to do so. If you are looking to copy documents you will have to use a scanner and incorporate that scanner with a computer to make copies of documents that are not already stored digitally(hence email, thumb drive, SD card etc.). hope this helps.
