yall making me want to go buy this router lol. i just dont know if i could use it with bright house

It's free

 

[Disciple2123]

Depends which model you have but easiest way is to call them. They can do it over the network almost instantly.

Ok cool... Thanks for that info! Right now I set it up where the laptops and ps4 are on the xfinity one and all cell phones in the house are on the asus one. So it's better to just have everything on the asus?

It's free from t mobile. Best part is its also one of the best routers out there or so I've heard.

 

[HipsterOliver]

The Asus is dual band too, which means you get a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz network. So you can put data heavy devices on one network and your more casual devices on the other to split the usage. I've got laptops and phones spread across both of them and it works great with everything.

Robogirl gave me a tracking number but its not working on UPS.
it starts with 1Z.. looks like this 1Z3Z89************

Then UPS says the number i have entered is not a valid tracking number... even though it follows the 1z9999999999999999 #18 number rule...

Did Robogirl actually give me a messed up tracking number?

Have you received a text?

OK I may be wrong, but I think the dual band in the router separates the devices hooked up to it by wich band they operate on ether it's 2.4ghz or 5ghz. So I think it does it on its own....maybe. .

Nice!!! Sounds like a fun project to do today lol hopefully it doesn't take me too long to figure all this out.

LOL. Poor mom.

Hilarious because I did the exact same thing. Wifey and I get the 5GHz, friends get the 2.4GHz.

[J2funny]

My router isn't even shipped

When did your order it?

 

[Disciple2123]

So does being on the 2.4ghz make the internet slower for the device on that band?

 

[J2funny]

It's free

Not free anymore. They're 25 bucks now. The last day to get them free was the 24th

 

[MI MacGuy]

So does being on the 2.4ghz make the internet slower for the device on that band?

I'm honestly not 100% sure but I think so. Or the 5GHz may have better range.

 

[capriseyhaze]

can someone link me to the router, i cant find it

 

[J2funny]

me too

BackOrder 09/25/2014 at 02:45:58 AM

Almost same exact time I got

 

[Frankiec131]

From what I've read. Your phones operate on 2.4ghz that is the max they can go. There would be no point in it being on the 5ghz since it can't use the whole amount so I think it's more about optimizing witch devices can take advantage of each band.

 

[Disciple2123]

Sorry for all the questions... Lol but when you have both bands active that means each will have it's own unique name and password?

I have a dual band router now and one day, one of the bands was not working for iPads and iPhones so I had to forget that network on all those devices. But all the computers are still working on that one...why is that? How did you decide which devices go on which network?

You have to call T-Mobile. It's not on the site and they're 25 bucks now

Another disappointing morning. Still charged, but no shipping info.
