Our home has plaster walls, which have a wire mesh and has interfered with WiFi. Tried many routers including R2000G to no avail. Will RTA15 help me?

It has slightly more power, however I really recommend you using cat5/5e/6 cable and access points, those will deliver better performance in the long run, however if you do have limitations you may give the RTA15 a try and it it doesn't work then you can return it and amazon is typically great with that.

Even though the RTA15 does have 700mW amplifiers, there is the possibility that it will not provide the coverage you need because of your environment. The plaster walls and wire mesh will create interference and block the signal. Most likely you will need to install an additional unit, like and access point, in order to achieve the coverage you desire.

I have a house built in 1959 and the walls are double plaster, wire, and lots of concrete block. I was hoping to improve signal strength compared to my newest generation Apple Airport Basestation Extreme. After installation, and several repositions, the RTA15 offered insignificant improvements and in the case of streaming in the back rooms, I lost that capability altogether. I even added a upgraded antenna to no avail. I returned the product and have gone back to my Basestation Extreme. I am going to rewire the home to place the Airport in a central location in the house to maximize the coverage. Hope that helps...

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.

WiFi 802.11n adapter did not work well for me. However, this did "Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter Kit". Homeplug might be an option, but in my house they did not perform well enough because I have AFCI breakers which interfere with the homeplug devices. Prior to my circuit breaker upgrade, I was getting 50mbps over using PlasterNetworks (now out of business) homeplug devices. After the new circuit breakers, I was getting 3mbps.

The RT-AC56U router is supported. Ref; ( www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database ). Also read posts related to this router in the dd-wrt forum. Third party firmware supported: Asuswrt-Merlin, DD-WRT - ref;( wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC56U )

I returned this router due to too many connectivity issues. I recommend the Asus RT-N56U. I has worked great.

I had such a problem with weak signals and disconnects with both the 2.4 and 5 signals that I returned the Netgear and purchased an ASUS RT-N66U. After a firmware update on the ASUS, I haven't had any problems connecting our phones, computers and Roku boxes to the ASUS.

The range stinks on the E2000 so I purchased a Edimax range extender for $19.99 and it fixed the problem now I have wifi � signal through out the house front to back outside upstairs device is awesome!!!

I am not sure, have you checked with Netgear? I love the router, I use it with Clear wireless internet.

How far is your WiFi from the location where the M5 will be? Do you have line of sight with a clear Fresnel zone? I would say yes to using two. Normal WiFi routers don't have the strength to TX more than 100 feet or so. You place both of these in P2P mode and they will work well.

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

Download the firmware update (3.0.0.4.376.3626) directly from ASUS here:http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC66U/HelpDesk_Download/Unzip the file to your desktop. It should look this this:FW_RT_AC66U_30043763626.trxGo into your router's settings and click on -Administration, followed by -Firmware UpgradeClick on the browse button and look for the file on your desktop. Click the upload button. Wait until it's done and reset your router.This also fixes the 5GHz issue many people are leaving negative reviews about.

There is discussion at: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=170851&view=next&sid=970164f48f9bce92f137fccdfb92dcf7 https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_JNR3210 The answer would seem to be "NO".

I also have Uverse. If you go with the UniFi AP I recommend to continue using the the 2wire, configure the settings on the UniFi the same as the 2wire settings e.g. security method, password, etc. except make sure you turn off DHCP. I think some of the people who are having problems getting it configured to work properly are not doing this.

You are not doing anything wrong. The problem is with the defective firmware of the router. There are two workarounds: 1- Return the router and ask for a refund. 2- Replace the firmware with the opensource alternative from openwrt.org. By the way don't expect the Netgear support to solve this problem for you. They are too incompetent and it's going to be a waste of your time.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

The RTA15 will provide you with your own WIFI network but it does require that you have internet service so that you can connect the router to your modem.

Yes. As long as the RTA15 is set to a static IP address and use that IP in DMZ mode.
