Are there any wireless routers that have b/g only? If so name them please. My wireless provider and retailers say there are none.

I have mine working with a 2013 Apple Time Capsule which is running in the default b/g/n/ac mode. I make sure I'm connected to the 2.4GHz wifi on my iPhone before syncing and everything works as it should. Support at Skybell suggested router should be set to b/g only but I have not found this to be necessary.

I have had Belkin, Netgear, and Linksys (linux software) routers and by far the Linksys is the most stable. Both Netgear routers died after a year or two and went to electronic recycling. Their (non)support was non-existent and I will never buy another Netgear product. The Belkin seems to work but with limited range. Linksys is a workhorse! Easy to setup and program. It does occasionally loose sync, but will run for months unattended. I suspect it loses sync when wireless devices (I have 5) wake from sleep and require an ip address but I'm not sure. It's just a matter of unplugging the power, waiting 5 seconds and replugging. Always does the trick. I've bought a second (used, non VxWorks) for a relative.

Certainly the GL is a better model, but unless users really want to hack their routers and don't care if they void the warranty, this version (v5-v7) is good enough for most purposes.I would go to the Linksys website and get the latest firmware, and possibly upgrade the antennas if necessary.

I agree I tried a Belkin router because for the price it seemed better than linksys. i am constantly restarting the router and looseing connection. I to am returning the belkin to get a lynksys.

I just bought this model yesterday (1/28) @ Bestbuy and the AC Wireless works well and does support both 2.4 / 5 ghz bands. I was connected at 240 mbps with only 3/5 bars signal strength and had no issues at all (unsure of what the difs are between the bestbuy version and the amazon product featured here)

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...

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.

It comes with Buffalo's own DD-WRT which defeats the idea of DD-WRT. ITs not the same thing at all, for example it only lets you bridge (and certain other modes) only with OTHER BUFFALO routers. AND it wont let you install genuine DD-WRT. They frequently brick upon attempting to do so. When it comes to DD-WRT they are the least friendly in my opinion, ironic when you consider that the average person associate it with DD-WRT.

I am having touble too. At first it couldn't find the router, now it finds it but says my IP address doesn't work. I am planning on calling Comcast, but I was I was wondering what brand of routers people had.Thanks.

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.

We have already released the Dual Band Wireless N Travel Router. We will be releasing it on Amazon anytime soon.

The Netgear web site finally stopped showing "Coming Soon" but they had none in stock to buy. I finally saw availability on Amazon's site this morning so I bit the bullet. Unfortunately they STILL show 1-2 month wait while another company said it had 10 in stock at the time, but for $25 more. There are a couple of "reviews" from "beta" testers already out but there's nothing written that I would call good information yet about the hardware. If they were "beta testers" then they may have had previous firmware or even hardware revision units like the ones with less RAM.

Does the wireless bridge work well? Its strange, on the LG website it says that the LG LHB977 is WiFi capable, but I never saw it mentioned in the online manual. I want to buy this badly, but have to save for it. My husband groaned when I mentioned it might not be WiFi because our router is upstairs in a closet. He tells me there's "no way" to run a wire to the 1st floor. Which really means it would take a lot of wire and a Saturday to do it, but I'm no expert.

"B" is The revision. They don't have an "A" version. Ensure your cable company supports the entire number. UBEE DVW3201B version by looking at the cable company's web support page. Brighthouse networks is my cable company in Tampa supports this Modem/wireless router. If you have anymore questions call UBEE. Their web page is http://www.ubeeinteractive.com/

Hello SCAT, I have purchased a total of 5 of this model, WZR-HP-G450H, new from Amazon. They all arrived in factory sealed boxes, inside the shipping boxes, and worked perfectly. I use 3 of them for connections to my 6 - IP network cameras, with hidden SSID's, and the 2 others for general wireless throughout our home. The pre-installed DD-WRT firmware gives me the capability of setting them up in wireless repeater configurations (Router/AP). My brother-in-law is using 7 of them also in wireless repeater configurations, along with high gain external parabolic antennas, to feed his network that's out almost 3 miles from where he connects to his ISP's cable modem. We love the performance of these units! Hello SCAT, I have purchased a total of 5 of this model, WZR-HP-G450H, new from Amazon.
