<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning Arthur,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been using ASUS both at home and for most of my customers recently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A couple of things,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have Charter, my clients have Charter, Cox, Comcast….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whenever I set them up I turn off the wifi option and set their modem device in bridge mode….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then I use the ASUS router which allows me to control who has access, vpn, restrict wifi connections and not have to deal with the provider should I want to make any changes, setup VPN, firewall settings, etc…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I use the ASUS extenders, I always connect them back to the main router with a CAT cable instead of the WiFi signal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(I know you can connect wireless the extenders to the router, but I have found I have allot less Wifi connections issues, if any at all when doing this), of course you need to be able to run the wire….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for replacing the ISP’s modem, I find out what device they recommend, then go find the best price. (this way they cannot come back at me should I need to call their tech support for anything)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope this helps a littler? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance or clarification.<o:p></o:p></p>
