How fast of a router is needed?

you don't need a router you need a switch. most switches these days are 1gb but 100mb will work fine.

the camera runs at 100Mbs.... So you'll want at least a 10/100 switch. If you are doing POE, it'd need POE on it as well.

Speed not an ac router. Asus routers that are AC have that listed in the actual naming of the device. Note this router is outstanding for a large condo.

5mbps should be fine. If it is like at a college or large network then lots of other people are using it, may be slow.

Simple answer is yes. It gets to be a question of just how portable you need your router to be.

I would strongly consider Extreme if you have a new MacBook with 802.11n, you will see a TREMENDOUS speed increase, esp with a cable modem! I'm about ready to spring for one as I've just gotten a new MacBook Pro with 802.11n and the range on my old Netgear router is great, I can finally take advantage of the speed!

This is underpowered for a router table, imho. You'll need to go up to one of the over 3HP routers for a table. I suppose you could run it in a table, but it will struggle with larger size bits.

I have 35Mbps and it works fine. I was able to use it with a split Ethernet cable connection to my router also without any problems. I would advise against using a wireless connection based on my experience though.

Well the amount is not really determinded by hardware but more about bandwidth. U can support about 8 without experiencing lag in wifi speed. If its wired dont need to worry. And your internet speed determinds this as well. If u have a lower tier speed then you can support less even because of lag.

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

I did not do a lot of tests but the best I got was 175 mbps over AC and in the 225 mbps range for the N. To be fair, the router (also Asus) is about 30 feet from where the adaptor was located and the signal had to pass through 4 drywalls in a single family home. Overall, I decided that it was easier to convert my existing phone lines (ran over cat 5e cables) to network and lose the phone vs. having to deal with the wireless.

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

Routers are pretty much a matter of choice. A lot depends on how far from the router you will be working and if there are any physical obstructions between the laptop and the router. I have been very happy with the Netgear Rangemax router. Inside an average home you will have pretty good coverage in all rooms.

No,you need a different kind of router.If you go on Amazon's website you will find what you need.

If you're familiar with Belkin entry level routers its about the same. I live in a two story house with solid concrete walls. The router is downstairs and I get good signal on the side of the upper floor above the router. On the other side of the upper floor I have to use a repeater.

I think it depends on 2 things. 1. If you intend to use parental controls, then I would say go with another router such as the N900 as it should be easier to set up2. If you are not going to be connecting many wireless devices to it you can also go with a different router. I have over 25 devices connected to mine between PCs, tablets, TVs, chromecasts, phones etc. and with this number of devices I think it makes sense to have a router that is faster. If you only intend to connect a few devices to it, then the N900 would be fine.

I wired connection is always (for now) going to pull a stronger connection, where a wireless connection will be 3/4 the strength or less. We simply cannot send the same amount of data through the air as we can through a wire. There is nothing wrong with your hardware, it is simply the limitations of one connectivity method to the other. If you need to remain at your higher connection speed, keep the hard line (through the modem). If you are ok with 40mb/down, which you should be unless you're streaming 40K movies... and you prefer the mobility that the router provides, then leave it wireless. IMO: 40MB/DOWN is a great speed! You're OK! HTH

Melissa, You will need a router with a 1/2" collet. A router greater than 3hp or better is best.
