Spectrum Compatible Wifi Vpn Router Wps Button

Plugged it in to power, pressed the WPS button on the router and after a minute or so the extender connected. I plugged it into the location I had selected and it has worked brilliantly ever since.

Just press the wps button on your router, press the wps button on the extender, 2ghz connects, then press the wps button on your router again, press the wps button on the extender again, 5ghz connects. Place the extender between your routers signal before it gets weak and it will boost the signal to where you need it. I used this extender to get a stronger signal to a smart tv. I get a good stream now with no freeze ups or buffering.

It was time to replace my aging Netgear R9000. I was waiting for wifi7 certification before upgrading to another router that I’ll use for 5+ years. The Asus BE98 Pro was a clear choice in terms of features and flexibility. The initial setup was easy to follow. If you are migrating from another router like I did. I recommend taking a snapshot/pic of your old router’s config. For example I have static IP addresses for devices that were configured as manually assigned IPs in my DHCP. I also had port forwarding configured. And I also named all my wifi devices and identified via MAC address in my old router. Having a pic of these setting prior to the setup of the Asus router was helpful and necessary. It made the Asus setup easy and troublefree. The Asus VPN fusion feature was what I was excited to use. Configuring a 3rd party VPN provider was simple to setup. It does require abit more technical know how to get it setup and configured. I suggest calling Asus support. Overall I’m glad with the wifi throughput I’ve gained and the WAN internet speed bump I gained coming from a 1G WAN/netgear roter to the 2.5G / Asus. I have a 1G plan with my provider and Im getting internet speed bursts up to 1.4G. If you can afford this router now I’d pull the trigger.

Had to change my WiFi router since it was giving problems using vpn, devices losing connections. This was easy to set up, change settings. So far all devices are working great with this WiFi router.

This is without a doubt the best router I have owned since wifi was invented. What puts it over the top of all the others is Synology's software. I can easily see and manage (if need be) any network attached device on my home network. Yesterday I connected over an LTE network, via Synology's VPN Server Plus, to the router and could surf the web via this VPN connection at home, or manage the router remotely. It does much more than the few items I have mentioned, but that would take many more pages to describe it all.

Love this router. Its really fast. Much faster then my old wrt 1900acs. I use it in a small apartment so its overkill on the wifi. However, that Arm 1.8GHz cpu tears throughout the complex math required to run a VPN service, so didn't care about the wifi as much. But that also is blazing fast. If you want total control of what this router can offer, I recommend dd-wrt firmware. All in all it was worth the money in my opinion. Especially for running a VPN.

I've been using TP Link for over 8 years now. Prior was using ASUS. I upgraded from Archer CX3200 to this router. This router has a single 2.4 and a single 5 ghz band, but it supports wifi6 which can output over 4200 MBS. First i connected this router to my laptop by ethernet cable. I then used my wifi on the laptop to download in sequence the TP Link firmware updates to my laptop. I then tuend off the wifi and connected by wire to the laptop. to do this easily, I assigned an IP4 address and gateway to my laptop ethernet adapter. The router by default is 192.168.0.1 The box contains the administrator username and password. I kept the router's wifi signals off. Next after logging in, I updated the firmware to the current level, assigned the fixed ip address and max addresses to the new router I was using on my old router. I set up the wifi network names and passwords, guest networks, checked the signal strengths and channels being used in my area and set my wifi to the clearest channel bands. I set up my vpn, firewalls, etc. I set my dns to my preferred public dns and I set up my DHCP server for the range I like. Then I set the router's ip address to 192.168.1.1, shut it down. disconnected my old router, shut down my cable modem, connected the new router, powered it up and then powered up my cable modem. Since my wifi network names and passwords were the same, my devices connected. Also, I enabled the UNP on this router and all of my devices with port forwarding worked well without a glitch. My phone connected at wifi6 band and downloaded at over 600 mbs 15 feet from the router. A big plus for this router is the ability to set up a VPN client and server and specify several VPN connections as well as which devices you want to always use the VPN to pass traffic. For the money, its fast and stable.

Great switch from the standard router you would rent from Spectrum. Was having issues connecting 2.4ghz devices to the basic router from them. Bought this and didn’t realize how slow my WIFI was with their router. With the AX4200 my wifi speed is amazing, videos stream better than ever, gaming is much easier and I can now connect my Roomba to my wifi. No complaints so far! Their NETGEAR app also has a ton of features, albeit many that I might not use. However, it is nice to have those options! Thank you!

Blazing fast wifi speeds. Huge difference from the spectrum modem/router that we were using. Glad I made the switch...

If you're looking for a reliable router to replace the heavily locked down WiFi 6 router Spectrum provided, then look no further than the Netgear Nighthawk RAX43. I recently made this switch and have been very pleased with its performance so far. Setting up was easy, and all my issues were resolved immediately after switching to this powerful device. It has consistently delivered fast speeds of up to 1Gbps without any hiccups or glitches in service quality. If you're tired of dealing with lock down router of spectrum, do yourself a favor and invest in one of these routers - you won't regret it!
