Simultaneous dual band router for FiOS

I've just got a FiOS Triple play with a modem/router, M1424WR.
I ordered for 50/25 Mbps, but I'm getting 60/40 wired.
The router is downstairs right next to where the cable came inside,
and I'm getting mostly 25/20 wireless downstairs.
However, whenever the microwave oven in the kitchen runs,
the wireless connection doesn't work. So I'm thinking of buying a simultaneous dual band router.
How would I configure it with the Verizon modem that originally came with?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router?

Alternative simultaneous dual band router that supports NTFS?

I was totally smitten with my Airport Extreme, until I had to change all of my media hard drives to NTFS (they had hit the characters per directory limit that FAT32 has).
I need to keep them as NTFS, because my TV only reads FAT32 or NTFS hard drives (i.e. I couldn't change to HFS+)
So my question is, does anyone know of a simultaneous dual band router (5ghz + 2.4ghz) which has gigabit ethernet ports and a USB port which supports NTFS hard drives?
From researching, the big competitors are the Linksys WRT610N and the Netgear DIR-855. Problem is, the Linksys and Netgear support forums are filled with posts from people claiming NTFS hard drives either don't work at all, or are severely temperamental
I could go for a NAS, but I just managed to get a pair of 2TB Western Digital USB hard drives for £98 each. I've been unable to find a 2TB (single hard drive) NAS for less than £170.

Airport Extreme Simultaneous Dual-Band port forwarding broken if only TCP ports with firmware 7.6.1

When configuring my Airport Extreme Simultaneous Dual-Band router, port forwarding is broken if you only specify TCP ports to forward. This is with firmware 7.6.1. What happens is that after you hit the Update button, when the router comes back and you open the port forwarding entry, the IP is still there but the port numbers are missing.
I tried all different port numbers and ranges and nothing would stick if i only specified TCP ports. If i added UDP ports with the TCP ports then it would save them. And if you add a new entry with only UDP it saves them too.
Now this is with adding a new port forwarding. I already have existing ports being forwarded that only have TCP. They are still working. I believe i added them with a previous version of the firmware.
Any one else see this issue? Any ideas?
Maybe i should perform a hard reset and reload a saved config.
Peace,
Dan

I haven't seen the issue but you could just downgrade to an earlier firmware:

Where can I download 7.4.2 firmware for my Simultaneous Dual Band II AE

After upgraded to the latest firmware, the time machine disconnect randomly, so does my NAS' file shareing.
As other topic says, I want to downgrade my AE to 7.4.2. I remember days before upgrading firmware, everything's well.
I can't find any download for my Simultaneous Dual Band II AE, only Simultaneous Dual Band (no II). Can someone tell me where I can download it?
Thanks.

Michael,
This may or may not help.... But it just might get someone to either tell us I'm right or point us in a better direction....
I have one AE and three AX's. All recent "n" models. My AE was using v7.5.1 and the three AX's were on v7.4.2. My version of AirPort Utility is v5.5.2. All was well WiFi land....
I recently updated all of them to firmware v7.5.2. They are working OK, but I have lost some of my RSSI. It is about three clicks worst than it was. It went from a constant -58 ~ -59 to -62 ~ -64. (My iMac is not in the same room as my AE.)
If I weren't so "anal" I'd just live with it..... But I'm thinking of reverting them back.
AE from v7.5.2 TO v7.5.1
AX's from v7.5.2 TO v7.4.2
I have found v7.5.1 and v7.4.2 in the following folders:
(users)you>Library>ApplicationSupport>Apple>AirPort>Firmware>107>v7.4.2 & v7.5.2 / 114>v7.5.1 &7.5.2
Once located I think that we go to AirPort Utility, Select the AE or an AX, click Manual set up, Click "Version" on the first screen, then at the drop down select "Other". Next using the now opened Finder, go to one of the above folders and select the version to revert to and update.
I think this just might work..... *Again maybe someone can advise on this.......*
Oh, it's a good idea to locate the AE and AX's close to your computer. I just plug one at a time into an outlet next to my computer.
Hope we hear from an "expert" on this.....

Simultaneous Dual Band for Last Gen. Airport?

Does anyone know if the latest software update ADDS dual band support to the previous generation of Airport Extremes? I bought the previous generation base station about 3 months ago. It would be cool if I got the enhanced functionality with a software update.
Thanks

All of the AirPort 802.11n products are dual-band. They can operate in either 2.4GHz or 5GHz, but not at the same time--they need to be reconfigured in AirPort Utility to switch.
The new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule just introduced each have two 802.11n radios, one in 2.4GHz and one in 5GHz, so they can operate in both bands at the same time. It's called "simultaneous dual band" or "concurrent dual band" by others. But it does mean a hardware change, so it won't be available as a firmware upgrade to older AirPort APs.

What is the latest current version of the Actiontec router for FiOS internet?

Hello,
I will be moving in a couple of months and I'm wondering if I should turn in my current router and ask for a new one when I get the service installed at my new house, vs taking my current router with me. I've had mine for over 2 years now. The main issue I have is that the signal is sort of weak. I will be moving to a much bigger place and I'm worried the wireless won't be strong enough to reach end to end or outside.
Can someone confirm the latest and greatest Actiontec model # of the router that they are installing, and I can check to see if it's something newer than what I have.
Thanks

The Verizon routers do have a good amount of range on them. I'm using an ActionTec MI424-WR Rev. D running DD-WRT on my DSL connection, which replaced an older and slowly dying Linksys WRT54GXv1. The ActionTec seems to broadcast just as far as the Linksys does. Transfer wise when I go out that far, I don't know how nicely it works yet but I've seen no issues with it in my home. Other homes with the FiOS routers, it is generally due to the positioning of the router (Basements are terrible places, signals don't go down nicely) or due to being on a noisy channel. In some cases, an antenna replacement is all that is needed, and additionally, disabling the Auto-Scan function and setting a channel manually on the router work wonders as well.
The Rev. G should be able to get better range by design, since it is N compliant and supports MIMO. The Rev. F and older routers do have two antennas, one internal and one external SMA antenna, so they do support Diversity as a result which helps with range and speed.
I do agree with you however with the routers needing a better design. More RAM for future proofing, more antennas (Maybe 6 Internal, two external?) with Simultaneous dual-band Wireless N, Gigabit and better firmware design would be nice. Wouldo also be nice to see the return of Ethernet installs comes around, instead of it being for only the 150Mbps connections. It'd be less headaches in the long run and better service quality despite some additional install time and more cabling.

Computer doesn't see second channel in Dual Band router

I have just purchased a Cisco Linksys simultaneous dual band wireless N gigabit router (model WRT610N-EU).
The router has two channels, 1) linksys and 2) linksys_media. Both my computer and my TV see and connect without problem to linksys. However, my intention with the dual band router what to have one channel for my laptop and one for the TV. Unfortunately, neither see the linksys_media channel. What is strange is that a visiting friend was able to see both channels on his laptop. So why don't I?
Is there a compatibility issue here or am I doing something wrong?
BTW, my laptop is less than six months old and is running Windows 7 (newer than my friend's laptop). The TV is a top of the line model and two months old.

Most likely your devices don't support the 5 GHz band. Check the specifications of the wireless adapters in your wireless devices.

Is the 802.11n 1st generation a dual band router?

Is the 802.11n 1st generation a dual band router?

Yes, but not simultaneously I think. If you look at the tech specs (http://support.apple.com/specs/#airport) for the Airport Extreme, the 1st and 2nd generation all say "2.4GHz or 5GHz" while the 3rd generation and up say "2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously".

HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-one printer & dual band router

Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to confirm whether this printer is compatible with my router which is a dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I am not able to connect it to the internet. The box says that the printer is compatible only with 2.4 GHz routers. Would the fact that my router is dual band mean that it will not work with the printer?

Hello @JMHouston , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are looking into your options for a dual band router. I would love to help.
The printer will only connect to a 2.4 GHz broadcast. To quote this document on Print | Rate this content HP Printers - Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Iss...
Dual band routers provide both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHZ frequency ranges. HP printers connect to the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 20 MHz bandwidth only. Many dual band routers let devices connected to the 2.4 GHz band communicate with devices connected to the 5.0 GHz band. But not all routers support this feature.
To manage the different bands and what devices connect to each, try assigning a unique SSID (network name) to each band. For example, name the 2.4 GHz band to “Mynetwork” and the 5.0 GHz band to “Mynetwork-5G”.
Communication and connectivity issues might occur with the printer connected to the 2.4 GHz band and the computer connected to the 5 GHz band. Try connecting the computer to the 2.4 GHz band.
As long as your router is broadcasting both network channels, you should have no issue connecting.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

Connecting Harmony Hub to Apple Dual Band Router

It appears that the Harmony Hub only connects to 2.4 ghz and my dual Airport Extreme, although it sends out both 5 and 2.4 doesn't work with it. If we can't find a work around one thing we are considering is whether we can add a second (2.4ghz only) router to the network either directly to the modem or as an extension of the network. I'm a little (a lot) over my head on this stuff so would appreciate any suggestions or approaches. thanks

Hi @SP-Michigan ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with setting up the printer over the network on the Comcast Dual Band Router.
I will do my best to help you.
Restore the factory settings on the printer.
Press the OK button on the printer, go to service, then select restore defaults.
Print a configuration page from the printer to make sure the IP and SSID are cleared.
Most likely it is the settings on the router that might need to be changed.
If it is set to 5 GHZ network you may need to change to 2.4 GHZ. (rename the 5ghz or shut it off)
You might also have to set it to WPA personal.
The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.
Multi casting needs to be turned on.
Firewall on router has to have open ports for printer.
If you have Mac Filtering you need to give printer hardware address from configuration page.
You might need to contact Comcast for further assistance to check those settings.
I have provided a document for setting up the wireless connection or you can follow my different methods provided.
Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Ipad push applications on Apples Dual band router - Help

All, why are my push apps not pushing when I'm connected to the Apple dual band router, internet works fine though? Funny thing is at my moms house it pushes fine with her cheap netgear. Can someone with a dual band and push working on your iPad please provide what settings you used on the router ? Is it best to just a separate name for 5ghz ?
Its been so hard to find help on this. Thanks

I am also finding streaming (from YouTube) to be poor both on wifi and 3G. My first gen iPad had a lot of problems, but streaming was never one of them. Signal strength is good and I haven't changed any network hardware or settings.

Problem connecting 1525nw to Comcast Dual Band Router

I recently got a new Comcast Dual Band router. Since then I have not been able to connect my HP 1525nw wireless printer to the network. Have tried all methods, WPS, PushButton, Pin, installation thru HP drivers, resetting to factory defaults etc.......any suggestions?
BTW - the printer was connected earlier to the Comcast Single Band router. It used to work just fine then.

Wireless Expander WRE54G and Dual Band router WRT610N

I used to have a band G-type network with a Linksys Router and a Wireless Expander WRE54G. It worked fine.
Now I have a WRT610 N Dual Band router. I am trying to connect the WRE54G to the netowrk (using the G-band of course) but it doesn't work. Runnig the Setup utility from the CD (og the Range Expander) ends in a "Site survey" which terminates with an error "Site survey fail". Maybe the installation program is not able to handle the WRT610N.
Any suggestions?

Press and hold the reset button on WRE for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...
Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240. Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...It should open your Expander set-up...
Once you get to the set-up page,change the Expander Settings...While changing the Expander settings you have to make sure that the Wireless Settings(SSID/Network Name and WEP/WPA Key) are identical on both the devices(Router and Expander)...Also make sure to change the Expander's default IP to match your network and Gateway Address should be your Router's address...ex.Expander's IP Address : 192.168.1.240(assuming your router's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1),Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
After configuring the Expander you should disconnect it from the Computer and go into Local Area Connection TCP/IP Properties and set it back to Obtain IP Address Automatically...Disconnect the Expander from the computer and power cycle both the devices(Expander and Router) ...Your Expander should be configured...

Extend an AE dual-band router with a 2nd AE dbr: will automatic mode work?

I have a new Apple Extreme dual-band router, and it works just great. My N devices all get the maximum bandwidth, and the G devices connect easily as well. I have a section of my house that gets weak reception, and want to extend the network with a second router.
If I bought a second Apple Extreme dual-band router, and configured it to Extend Wireless Network and Allow Wireless Clients, could I then leave it on the default radio mode of Automatic? It seems like either router would then be able to tell if the wireless clients were N or G, but communication between the routers would be N. I want to keep the maximum bandwidth for my N devices.
Thanks in advance

Cisco 2500 dual band router. the hp printer is connects on one band, pc the other help

Cisco 2500 wireless router Dual Band N, HP PhotoSmart C309-g, Windows 7
PC cannot find the printer because it connects on a different band. Cisco uses the same name for both bands. How do I get both devices on the same network.

I also have a dual band router, Cisco's LinkSys EA3500 N750; and the 5.0gHz band is necessary to avoid interference with other equipment operating on 2.4gHz. I put TP-link 2.4/5.0 gHz adapters on each PC (one HP another Sony, both a few years old) and the PCs now work fine, no loss of internet/network access. Would that solution also work for the printer? The printer does not recognize any network (even though the 2.4gHz shows as available and strong on the TP-link device. I used the same name and security code for the new router as the old; again, neither PC had a problem finding it.
