Question 1

Hi, I just got The N300 On Networks wierless WiFi Router, .Now can I put it in my office, my Xfinity comcast modem, is only 10 feet away in another room,,, without plugging into the broadbans modem ? THANK YOU,,,,!

Accepted Answer

Try this one I don't own this one but I may upgrade to this. One thing is certain nothing is sure when it comes to electronics but you do want to try and put money into it if you go too cheap you may regret it trust me I've been there and always do your homework on the stuff just because somebody else has a problem with it doesn't mean you will. http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16833122786

Question 2

Can this router be configured from an Apple OS 10.6 operating system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 
You still should consider another device as the manufacturer has abandoned this device. No new updates for the firmware. This is a security hole I did not expect to have to deal with.

Question 3

I am interested in getting a wireless router for pen-testing training. Would this product benefit me? How?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what the requirements your looking for. You can always set this router to wep and work on trying to break that. Same with WPS. It has no shell access though so if your looking for that you may wanna look elsewhere.

Question 4

Can this be configured as a range extender?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can be, the configuration settings are more difficult than most though

Question 5

the wifi password it came with be default is incorrect. how do fix this?

Accepted Answer

Just in case something malfunctioned, look first for a reset button. That will put all system info back to defaults.
Make sure you use name and password in correct places. I have seen some with no user name, but password looks like a name.
Good luck!

Question 6

Does this work with a Chromecast?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does.  I have been using it for about a year now and it works fine.

Question 7

Does this router work in India?

Accepted Answer

I can't answer for certain if it would or not without finding out what the wired, and wireless standards are for protocols in India. You could look up the equipment at their website(I believe they belong to a larger company), and also you could check with your Internet Service Provider. I'm sorry I at this point don't really have the time to that all myself right now.

Question 8

Does it work for Comcast?

Accepted Answer

I had no issues plugging it into my Comcast service.  I use a Motorola Surfboard modem and set the WAN port on the wifi router for DHCP.  No issues at all connecting.

Question 9

Can a security camera hook into it?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can definitely hook your camera system to this router .

Question 10

Would this router work with Comcast? I use internet only with Comcast looking to replace the Router I have to rent every month.

Accepted Answer

Yes it will work with Comcast. You will still need a modem to connect it to, which you usually rent from your provider.
