I daytrade so I need a reliable , fast modem and this be it . have the router a few week and it be great . good reception with a strong wifus signal throughout a 2 story 2600 sqft . house . you may need to make a few tweak for you internet provider and here they be . 1 -rrb- use this if you be have slow download\/upload speed or in my case over 65 % packet loss on a ping test . you can check you dl & ul speed here -lrb- speedtest -lrb- dot -rrb- net -rrb- and test for packet loss here -lrb- pingtest -lrb- dot -rrb- net -rrb- . login to the router gateway use 192.168.0.1 and you can find you username and pass in you instruction manual . once in click Firewall at the top , then web Filter on the side panel . toward the bottom of the page uncheck `` IP Flood detection '' and click apply . 2 -rrb- some people have report a drop wifus signal after a few day of use . this be generally cause by interference from other wireless signal in the area . to fix this login to you gateway again . this time click on Wireless at the top then radio on the side panel . Change you control Channel # to any of the number 1-11 list then click apply . if you be still get a drop signal after the change then switch to another channel until you signal be constant . by default the Control Channel be set to auto which be suppose to automatically switch channel when the router detect interference but this do not always work so well . these two item tend to be the biggest issue with this router . once you get it setup right it should be clear sailing .
