Question 1

Will it work with Xfinity?

Accepted Answer

Behind their modem, it should. You connect the modem, turn off its wifi unless you want that on, connect the WAN port of this to the lan port of your Xfinity router.

Question 2

What's the difference between 10/100 and Gigabyte Routers?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is: The difference is the speed of the LAN/WAN networking ports. a 10/100 port has a top rated speed of 100 megabits per second while the "gigabit" router has a top rated speed of 1000 megabits per second, or ten times as fast. The top rated speed is not the speed you usually get in the real world. If you have a very fast internet connection the gigabit router may be needed for best performance. We had to upgrade our router to a "gigabit" router when we installed a 100mbps Comcast service as the 10/100 router could only manage about 70 mbps throughput. We get 95mbps with the Gigabit capable router.  There is a long discussion as to why, but that's the core of it.

Your local network should show improvement if all the devices are 10/100/1000 (gigabit) devices but small jobs and networks make seeing the improvement more difficult.

If the price difference is small I would not settle for 10/100.

Question 3

Having 802.11A/N is a nice bonus for this cheap router.

The Wifi router is decent except the router configuration user interface is focus too much for non-technical user. The router is too light weight. I have to glue the router case to the table to prevent it from moving around  by the Ethernet cables that are connected to it.

I don't know how stable it is until I have used the router for a few weeks?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your comparison between Trendnet 751 and 731.

Question 4

Will this router work if I have my wifi thru Century Link? I am trying to purchase my own router instead of renting theirs.

Accepted Answer

I have CenturyLink DSL service using a ActionTec M1000 modem and my TrendNet router works perfectly with it. I am a little confused when you say you have CenturyLink wifi as it implies you have a modem router combination from CenturyLink and may not need another (my modem does not have a router, I suppose you could turn off the wifi in yours and just use the TrendNet as your router).

Question 5

The range of

nit  and the pass code can be changed and can the wifi be turned  off use line  only a. ?

Accepted Answer

Pass code can be changed.  I cannot answer your question about disabling the WiFi.   Access the router at 192.168.1.1 with your browser.   This router has worked well for me including the Ethernet switch and the WiFi.
