Q. I'm currently using the WRT400N router. A friend gave me the E3000 awhile back; I want to use one and sell the other. We have a desktop and two laptops that are connected wireless plus we share a printer and also have other wireless devices (phones, ps3, tv) connected at times. The only thing hard wired is a blu-ray player. Which one should I keep?
A. I think you can use E3000 router. Both the routers are simultaneous Dual-band routers.
This router has Guest network access also.
You can let your friends to access Internet without connecting to your main network.
But make sure that your router is using latest firmware.
Upgrade the firmware on E3000.
After upgrading the firmware, reset the router and reconfigure it.
In order to use Guest network, you will need to install this router using Cisco connect software.

Cisco Linksys E2000 Wireless Router question?
Q. I am not familiar with routers so I do not know what all these stats mean. For example: "Selectable Dual-Band (2.4 or 5 GHz), 4-Port Gigabit Router DD-WRT/Tomato Compatible" What do these mean and is this compatible with a cable modem since I am currently using a cable modem for internet? Thank you very much.
and how good is the signal length for this?
and how good is the signal length for this?
A. There are 2 types of Dual-Band N Routers; Selectable and Simultaneous. Always get a Simultaneous DBN Router. The E2000 is a Selectable,
With Dual-Band, there are 2 separate radio frequencies being broadcast, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Overlapping the 2 signals increases the range and signal in Wireless N Routers, but most people forget (or don't know) that they also need to set their network adapters on their PC's or other devices to match the Router's wireless settings.
Selectable Routers only let you select either 2.4ghz or 5ghz for your wireless bands, leaving the other band useless for anything else but overall signal and range performance. Simultaneous Routers allow you to use both wireless bands at the same time, essentially giving you 2 wireless networks in one Router. What this means is that you can use one frequency band for media streaming, gaming, etc., while using the other band for PC traffic.
For example, I use my 5ghz band for all of my business, media, and gaming data streams; I route all other traffic (family use) over the 2.4ghz band. Since the bands are independent, they don't interfere with each other.
Bottom line is that if you want to get the most out of a DBN Router, get a Simultaneous Dual-Band so you can use both bands at the same time. The Linksys E2000 and E2100L are Selectable Routers; the E3000 and the new 4200 are Simultaneous Routers. The 4200 is the latest step up, with averages approaching 450mbps, and is designed for high speed media streaming.
Keep in mind that speed is determined by the slowest network device, so even if you have an N Router, and your other devices are Wireless G, they'll still only connect to the Router at G speeds, i.e., 54mbps. To get N speeds, both the Router and the adapters on your PC's and other networked devices must also be Wireless N.
DD-WRT/Tomato just means it's compatible with the DD-WRT and Tomato firmware upgrades, which most average users don't care about. 4-port means it has 4 Ethernet (hardwire) ports;Gigabit means it's capable of processing at Gigabit speeds, but you'll never see it unless you've got a T3 or comparable connection.
All Routers are compatible with cable modems.

My internet started messing up out of no where?
Q. I have Comcast internet a Ubee modem and a Linksys E3000 wireless N router with DDWRT firmware. Both the router and the modem are under a year old. Every since I got them they have worked perfectly and out of nowhere while playing Xbox online multiplayer I started lagging like crazy and then on my laptop my internet keeps dropping and the trouble shooting comes up with nothing. Also my bandwidth last I checked for download was 24 Mbps. Does anyone know what could have happened? If you need any additional info just ask
That just it everything else in my house that I know of that uses internet was off and this has been happening for the past few days it wasn't a one time thing

A. it sounds like you had to many things functioning on the net at once.
I wanna get a new wireless router?
Q. well i was looking at wireless routers and one was $150 dollars and it seemed like a good gaming router (not the best but good enough to play online games a responsible no lag state). i was wondering if there are any routers that maybe cheaper than that but are still good fr gaming, i can pay for that and i have no problem with paying that its just i wanna try to find the best deal out there so i do save money.
A. If you are looking for a good router for gaming I recommend one that can be flashed with DD-WRT firmware for advanced NAT controls and port forwarding and gaming. Something like an Linksys E3000 (https://www.flashrouters.com/cisco-linksys-e3000-ddwrt-router.php) or a NETGEAR WND3700. Both have simultaneous dual band, a USB port, high wireless signal strength and a large amount of antennas.
