I have to move my verizon wireless router. Last time I added a longer cable performance diminished. Will this help?

The Motorola signal booster I purchased did nothing to improve the signal strength of my system (although I was looking for a better cable TV signal) and it knocked out my internet signal. For my system it was a waste of time and money (I have Comcast as an internet / TV / Phone provider) your situation may be different.

I bought this item and it worked exactly as a digital tuner pulling in only 7 of the 12 tv channels. I don't think they make truly boosters over 320 MHz... If you're out of reach by digital channels you probably can't get them all. I now you a digital tuner with an indoor antenna with my limited channels, better than expensive cable and not being without all together...

We cannot honestly tell exactly if that would help, unless we can identify that the problem is with your existing modem-router and/or the range extender (if we got that right). How far can the signal go with your modem-router? It would help if you can tell us more about your experience.

Shouldn't make any difference who your ISP is. This simply picks up any wireless signal and extends it over a longer distance.

I put it on my fios router, it didn't really help though, I thought it would be over kill, my router is in my basement, I can't tell any difference up stairs

Your network will only move as fast as the slowest device, Wi-Fi included. If your router is megabit rated then a gigabit router wouldn't do much good. I believe it does come with one cat 5, rather short, cable. You can have someone make cables at lengths merged for cheap...

I Have Not Noticed any Change in Internet Speed Before or After the Swap From Old Netgear Firewall to New Netgear Firewall... The Main Reason for Change was Gigabit Backbone...

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

My opinion, yes. Purchased it to utilize speed of N-wireless router. Made a huge difference on connectivity and consistency. Changed memory cards at the same time (doubled capacity) so could exaggerate results....

After a few months, my device also performed poorly as a wireless router. I had good performance when I bypassed the wifi and used the SBG901 in bridge mode as a modem. Ultimately my best solution wasto replace it with separate modem and router components.

No; improves connection speed and quality. Used to drop connection all the time at work, now my terminals' wireless connection is the most stable connection in the building.This particular device isn't like 2 wireless cards bridged, which I think is what you're getting at. It's a bit bulky though, which is my only complaint.

It ran fine in the walls, however, I have seen some network slow downs on occasion. I haven't figured out if that's due to the router our the cables.

This is a "it depends". If you are using the new ac wireless standard and have a good signal it may offer noticeable speed improvement. As slower standards and/or signal quality degrades any improvement at the diskstation side will become unimportant. The real question is can you really get much 100Mbps real throughput with *your* wireless environment? Some may disagree but I find a wired connection to be the most dependable for high-throughput situations. There are too many variables to be more specific but I hope this answer will help at least a little.

I'm using mine to extend my wireless network. I have a Verizon FIOS (CISCO) cable modem/wireless router. My AE1000 is plugged into a computer about 20 feet away from that router. Works great.

I tried it with Verizon Fios and didn't notice any difference in the weak signal.

Evan, I think this is not the product for you if you have fiber optic internet service to your home / location. This router is standard technology and speeds. The Verizon fios website or customer support may be a better choice for options to extend your wifi connections. This router uses a standard ethernet type connection to my cable modem to link my wifi devices (laptop, iPad) to TWC internet services. The data transfer speeds are adequate for my needs but likely significantly slower than what you expect with a fiber connected ISP.

Sadly, I think you (we) are screwed. I was having horrible speeds with Verizon FIOS for a few months (<1Mbs), blaming Verizon and getting 3 new routers when I finally realized while I was on the phone with technical support that all my problems went away when I turned the BestView baby monitor off. I've tried all the channels with no luck. My wife and I just know to turn it off for a minute or two when we need to do some quick browsing. Very annoying...

I don't know, I only have the "everyday basic" mbps. On a happy front, I rebooted my modem and randomly started pushing the buttons on the front of the modem and now my wireless is working again. Yea!
