Does Linksys Make a Wireless-N Cable Modem/Router Combo

Does Linksys make a wireless-n gateway router, a combination router and cable modem?
I currently have the combo device for wireless-g but want to upgrade to wireless-n.
Thanks!

Go to Solution.

I think at the moment Linksys does not sell 802.11n gateways.
I generally recommend not to get combo devices but better get two separate devices, one simple modem and a wireless router.
1. You have a far larger product choice for the router and they are usually cheaper.
2. If the router dies you can still have internet through the modem directly. If the combo device dies you are offline.
3. Less functions in a device makes simpler design and in average more stable and reliable devices.
4. You can replace either device at any point. For instance, if you switch from cable to DSL or FTTH you can simple replace the modem. You may have to change the internet connection setting on the router but other then that you can keep the router. Likewise, if in two years from now you want to get the next-generation wireless router you can keep using your modem (if it is still fit for your internet speed)
Just some to think about...

    i have a Linksys Wrt54gs connected to a Cable modem.
    it worked for about 8 months.
    My kid pressed a button by accident and now it won't work.
    the router just keeps resetting.
    i unplugged everything.
    conencted 1 computer, and everything is fine.
    Received DHCP address.
    Once i plug in a second computer it starts rebooting.
    Both computers are set to DHCP.
    NO internet connection is connected at this time for troubleshooting purposes.
    Nothing is connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router (port for internet access), only 1 and 2 are connected.
    i reset the router and still nothing.
    i can connect 1 computer via wireless and 1 computer via direct connection and all is good. Once 2 devices are connected via direct connections it starts resetting.
    i can even connect the modem to the router (for internet access), and connect to the linksys router via wireless from my computer and get internet access.
    But once i direct connect 2 connections, the router starts resetting.
    i have reset and reboot it with every combination i can think of.

    Its good that its working now.
    If it happens again, try this :
    Press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. The Power light will start flashing. Turn the Router and the Modem OFF. Turn the modem ON first, wait for 10 seconds, turn the router ON, wait for 10 seconds, you should be ONLINE !!!
    Do this when the computer os connected to the router with a cable.
    than on the computer open Internet Explorer and in the Address Bar type : 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
    It'll ask for the password. The default password is admin.
    Once in the setup page. Click on the Wireless tab.
    In there Change the Network Mode to mixed. And change the SSID to your name.
    Change the Channel to 11. And Enable the SSID Broadcast.
    Save the settings here. After that Click on Wireless Security and configure it accordingly and Save the settrings.
    Than click on Advanced Wireless Settings. In there Disable the SES function.

  • Does Timecapsule work with the new xfinity wireless gateway 1 modem / router?

    My husband hooked up the new xfinity wireless gateway 1 modem / router today and now I can't access my Timecapsule to back up my Mac. Comcast has not been able to help me...and they can't get me back on our old Comcast modem so I can access my Timecapsule, which has worked fine for several years. Can anyone offer a solution?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have no idea why but all of a sudden the Time Capsule backed up my Mac before I had time to do as you suggested...although the back up process was very slow. I'll see if it gets faster over the next few days...will resort to your suggestion if needed. Thanks again!

  • Any suggestions for an all-in-one "cable modem router print server" (N)

    any suggestions for an all-in-one "cable modem router print server" (N)?

    If that's a problem with your cable company, change the company.
    If your cable company is not able to provide you with a cable modem which gets you full performance for their service why would you bother with that company or try to make it better than them?
    If you subscribe to a 100 Mbit/s service they must be able to provide you with a modem that does 100 Mbit/s and be able to demonstrate you 100 Mbit/s on your cable.
    If they are unable to provide you with a modem which does 100 Mbit/s and thus cannot demonstrate that the service they have installed in fact can do 100 Mbit/s but only give you a 50 Mbit/s because that's the best they have, why bother buying yourself a better modem to find out whether or not their service does what it promises or not??
    In addition, an integrated device won't get you better performance. On the contrary, consumer devices are generally single CPU (and core) devices. It's usually running some Linux or similar. If a single process gets overloaded it can drag down the performance of the whole device. For instance, let's say there is a bug in the print server software of the router. You print something and it hangs and the print server process on the router runs wild. Now the CPU is fully loaded and the routing performance will go down. If there is a bug in the routing software it will bring down the whole device and you can't even print.
    You'll get the best performance if you use dedicated devices because then one device cannot overload another. Get a modem. Get a wireless ethernet router. Get a printer with integrated print server. That's far better.
    It's like the all-purpose audio device compared to components...

  • Officejet Pro 8500A unable to connect wirelessly to Ubee Modem/Router

    I recently upgraded to a new "all in one" Ubee Modem Router (Model DDW366) and have spent hours attempting to wirelessly (both using Wizard and entering info by hand) print, but nothing has worked.  The only way I am able to print at this time is by printer cable connected to my MacBook Pro.  I'm unable to print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad.  
    HP will not advise me on how to solve this problem as printer is no longer under warranty and Cox Cable who sold me the Modem/Router combo are not willing to assist with this problem.
    Can anyone advise me on how to print wirelessly again?

    Hello @drlogan0, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are encountering problems with getting your Officejet pro 8500A onto your new wireless network.
    I would like to help.
    i would try restoring the network defaults. This will help erase any 'old' information that may be stuck in the printers memory. I would like to give you specific steps for this, but I am unsure if you have the 8500A, 8500A wireless, or the 8500A premium.
    Basically the steps are, go into the network menu, and select restore network defaults.
    If you have tried restoring the network defaults already, please review the following troubleshooting documents.

  • Wired Cable Modem Router Suggestions?

    I need a new wired cable modem router for my house (not really interested in going wireless); my Belkin has failed finally. I don't need more than 4 ports necessarily, and it doesn't need to be gigabit. I'd like to spend less than $100 if I can, preferably closer to $50-ish, but reliability and a quality product is key.

    While product ratings are certainly subjective for many reasons, I see *a lot* of routers that are either badly rated or are split between bad and good. The couple I've found that are well-rated are either at least $125 or no longer sold. It's shocking to me that there's such a wide variance of router ratings with such a small number of units with consistently good ratings. A factor that I never thought about that I discovered during research is that there are even some routers that don't perform above 6Mbps, leaving those with turbo connections crippled. It seems to be quite the router jungle out there!

  • SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router

    I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
    I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
    I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
    As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
    I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
    Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
    I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
                                                         Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                           Netgear multiport switch
                                                          |          |         |         |          |
                                                         hardwired Macs,            TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
                                                         laser printers,                   |   |   |   |   |
                                                          Apple TVs                       laptops, Nest, iphones
    This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
    The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
    So I repatched my network like this:
                                                       Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                       TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
                                                                |                                       |   |   |   |   |
                                        Netgear multipart switch                      laptops, Nest, iphones
                                             |         |         |        |
                                               hardwired Macs,           
                                                 laser printers,                 
                                                   Apple TVs                     
    I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
    I hope that helps someone.

    So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
    Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
    Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
    Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
    The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
    Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
    Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
    It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him.

  • Configuring E3000 to work with Verizon FIOS actiontec cable modem / router

    Hi all, I've read knowledgebase Article ID: 3733, which seems to get me on the right track, but the router menu screens shown do not match the E3000's screens. 
    I have a FIOS cable modem / router in the basement that I need to keep since it drives all the FIOS guide and on demand features. I have a NAS drive in the basement and all the house hard wiring runs to the basement as well. 
    I wanted wireless n and a better location for the wireless access point, so I bought the E3000 and put it in the kitchen on the main floor
    When I wired a numbered LAN port on the E3000 to a numbered LAN port on the ActionTec and brought  the router up all worked fine, but quickly found that wireless clients could not see the NAS.  I suspect that this is because the E3000 uses a different address range(192.168.0.1)  than the actiontec (http://192.168.1.1/).  I ended up moving the NAS upstairs to temporarily fix this, but my wife would like me to get it out of her kitchen ASAP :-)
    I tried just about every setting imaginable (setting IP of E3000 actiontec range, disabling NAT, disabling DHCP, enabling/disabling RIP) to get the E3000 to simply become a wireless gateway and wired switch and let the actiontec do the routing but never could get it to work. 
    Could someone post a version of Article ID: 3733 that works for the E3000???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Press and hold the reset button on E3000 router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle E3000 router.
    Now connect one computer to Ethernet port 2 on the router ( Do not connect the cable between modem and E3000 )
    open the setup page of E3000. Change the wireless settings of E3000 router.
    Go to Setup tab and change the IP address of E3000 router to 192.168.1.2.
    Disable DHCP server on the router and save the settings.
    Do NOT change any other settings ( NAT firewall ).
    Connect the cable from modem to the Ethernet port 1 on E3000 router. power cycle the router.
    Now try to access the Internet through E3000 router.

    I'm not familiar with your router but are there any buttons on the front or back of it because sometimes you need to pair the router in order for your PC, laptop, phone or iPad to connect wirelessly with it?
    From the routers I have used there are normally two buttons on the front or back (apart from the power button), pressing one of them allows you a few minutes to enter the required password on your iPad. Best look at the instructions for the router.

  • Connecting a WRT54G2 V1 to a ADSL Ovislink Modem router combo

    I am trying to set up my linksy router to a ADSL Ovislink Modem router combo and when I install the CD on the main computer I keep getting this error message
    "Error 322- New router or gateway not detected"
    I have hooked everything up correctly as the CD has instructed me.  My TV, phone and internet all are on the same package.  I have powered down both th ADSL and my linksys and still not detecting the linksys.  The 1 computer light on the linksys blinks evry now and than and so does the ((( light will blink sometimes too.
    I had my cable modem hooked up to it in August and it worked fine and than we moved and the place we moved to has ADSL modem router and I need to hook up my router to get internet as the ADSL only allows one computer to be hooked up through the ADSL one.  So I know there is nothing wrong with my router.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    If you are trying to setup your router using the setup disk you can exit from the setup and configure all the settings on your router manually.
