Question 1

Can this router be wall mounted ?

Accepted Answer

yes, it has special holes on the back. the only down side for hanging on a wall might be that you can see cords on top.
overall router is very good. a little bigger than average router.

Question 2

Just want to confirm ( via someone actually using this way) that this router CAN DO and is able to run SIMULTANEOUSLY - the THREE WIRLESS MODES  i.e. use the router in 2.4Htz and 5.9Htz  "concurrently AND Simultaneously"  - as in like one laptop has an older " g " wireless hooked up with same time a newer laptop runs "n" and same time a newer Samsung Phone with AC1900 band connected. ( all 3 things connected and working at same time). Can this Router do as I have described ?

please please... let me know if this works the I described above - as I bought another router , and it says it works "Simultaneous dual connections" but can only either " G mode" - with 2.4  and N wireless in limited to one of these , thus no way to choose.

Thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

I have bunch of wireless N devices and two AC devices but there are no wireless G devices anymore so I can't say all modes (G,N,AC) work same time. However, all my nine N and AC devices work flawlessly. 
Good luck!

Question 3

I need a cable modem gateway that communicates with my PC wireless.  Will this hook up to the cable company's input wire?

Accepted Answer

This Nighthawk is a router not a modem. You need to either purchase a modem of high quality from New Egg or use the cable company provided unit for a monthly fee. That modem has a cable input and output, as well as one RJ45 connector for the line to the nighthawk. If you are willing to invest in this high end router, you should upgrade your data cable to Cat-6a to achieve the highest bandwidth of data from the modem to the router. New Egg can provide you with a good modem, but the manufacturer's cable is Cat 5e. That cable cost $1.00 and is not enough bandwidth for this very high end router. This router successfully streams Blue-ray, and Flac music files that are huge. 
One caveat: Comcast Cable offers and by their limiting pricing force you to install TV, Cable, and phone. Because of the phone add-on you must use their modem and pay the monthly fee. The good news is, it achieves 50 Gb data flow, which is super fast internet service. If you are not getting phone service, buy your modem from NewEgg and save yourself the expense of the monthly fee. Their modems will handle the TV and the internet data stream
Have fun with this unit. It should last forever since the Rom is technology upgradeable.

Question 4

Does this have MAC filtering? I only want certain devices to be able to connect.

Accepted Answer

yes, it does.

Question 5

So the router has great speeds, but what would a good modem to go with it. I would think the modem has something to do with the max speed of the night hawk... anyone have any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

If you have Comcast or similar cable internet access, then I highly recommend the Motorola SB6141. After I upgraded my modem I was seeing more than 2x speed, sometimes 3-4x.  It has been rock solid since installation (several months ago).

Question 6

Can this be mounted on a wall or rafter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be mounted, it has the proper mounting holes under its base. Cnet's review of the router has an image of the base, if you want to take a look at it.

Question 7

Can I use this device as a wireless access point? I have a router upstairs in my home and a 50' cat5e cable (run through the walls) down to a downstairs media room. I'd like to plug this in to the other end of the cat5e, plus my appleTV into the Nighthawk, and use it as a WAP.

Can I do that?

Accepted Answer

If your modem has more than one cat5 connection, I would recommend connecting the cable from the modem to the Nighthawk.  I have 2 of these set up this way.  Each broadcasts an independent signal.

If you go from your router to the Nighthawk it should work as a WAP, but I am not sure that other devices connected to the router would be seen through the Nighthawk.

The Nighthawk works just fine as a router.  It might be easier to use it to replace the router that you have installed.

Question 8

is it backward compatible to b,g,n technology?

Accepted Answer

I believe it is backward compatible.  The only issues I've experienced is that some devices are not 5GHz ready so I have two configurations for the unit.  One 2.1GHZ and the other 5GHZ.
Hope this helps

Question 9

Will this router work fine if it is located inside closed up entertainment cabinet?

Accepted Answer

Although mine is not closed up, it is behind a number of items, and the signal strength is really good.  Also, it doesn't seem to produce much heat, although it is well ventilated where I have it.  I would think that it should be fine.  That being said, since it has external antenna's, if for some reason the signal strength wasn't good, you can but antenna's that could be outside the cabinet to improve signal.

Question 10

Can you stand the router up on its side or does it have to lay flat?  Is there a stand to have the router vertical instead of lying down?

Accepted Answer

There are holes on the bottom to hang on a vertically surface, but you can't stand it on end (unless you tried to use the antennas as a stand - which seems like a pretty bad idea)
