Does this router come with a router bit? If no, is there any bit set recommanded for this router? Thanks!

It doesn't come with router bits. I recommend any bits from Whiteside or CMT

It does not come with router bits. Most companies making quality routers don't include them because bit selection depends completely on the task you are going to accomplish. I agree with the other person who answered. I have mostly Whiteside and a few CMT bits. Freud also makes pretty good ones. I've used a couple of the WoodRiver ones from Woodcraft but not for more precise work - Whiteside are very reliable and helpful and have great customer service.

Yes, there is an experimental version of DD-WRT for this router, I have tried it but it does not seem to work.

No this is not a gigabit router, Mark. Just 10/100. There are a lot of things we need to consider before we can recommend a router. It's better if you check this out: http://goo.gl/ReUk4e

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

This is tough for me to explain. Short answer is, yes it will work fine. The bit label you are referring to is you computer's either hardware and/or operating system, as well as the router's hardware. Network communication is totally different and the bit labels do not apply to networking in any way that is relevant to your buying decision. If you have a wireless-n adapter and are looking at a wireless-g only router. That would have an impact on your decision. The bit information would not.

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

Yes but this bit is huge. You could get by a smaller one. This needs to be used with a router table.

This is a router only. Depending on your type of internet service (e.g. cable, DSL, etc) you will need some type of "modem". Some manufacturers build cable modems and DSL modems with routers built in. If you need both, then it would be more economical to purchase a modem/router combination.

The router lift makes changing bits so simple, I would recommend some sor t of lift. I have the kreg lift and the fine adjustment would not be possible without out , and changing bits are a breeze especially if you get a offset wrench .

DD-WRT & OpenWRT both now have (relatively) stable implementations on this router. It is coming along but as of right now there are better routers available if open source is highly desirable to you. I wouldn't purchase this router with the expectation that any particular firmware or feature will exist for it. If you're going to buy it you should buy it for what it ships with.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports. I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps. Good Luck Jim

This one does not. You will need a separate router, or else buy a combination modem + router model.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

Nice little work horse. I use one of these for a lot of my light router work and love the compact design. To answer your question... Yes. The plate that comes with this router table doesn't have any holes drilled in it. You center the base plate from your particular router and mark/drill holes to attach the router to the table insert.

Yes, its a router, and very budget friendly for its use.... just set it up from your modem with name and password. Instructions listed.

Yes it's a full router, it has full DHCP capability. You can even assign certain WAN ports / LAN ports as you wish. I personally use it as both a load balancer and router for certain devices. I.E. I have a netgear router attached too it that handles general wireless duty via DHCP of it's own. My main systems (2) are plugged directly into the unit. This is a great device for failover/load balance I was definitely hesitant at first as I've seen devices 3x this much not work this well. To answer your question more succinctly I would have anything near enough for an Ethernet cable plugged into the device, you can plug in a router to extend the amount of devices + wireless if you wish. You can change LAN to WAN and vice versa, I personally use the first dedicated WAN port for one modem, 2nd LAN port switched to WAN for the 2nd modem (load balanced), as stated two systems plug directly in to the LAN ports DHCP, router goes into the last port for wireless / other devices less crucial. Reason I do this is because this device has a solid firewall and great attack mitigation features. Hope this helps.

There are no pre-drilled holes for a router. It mount by inclosing around the router. You can check JessEm's website for what routers will work and what you might need to work with your router.
