- Model numbers may vary depending on the most recent revision from the manufacturer and may have different firmware versions.
- XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet Cables.
Placement of your router
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice, if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick and sheetrock - you know the stuff your walls are made from - can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.
Router Issues
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If after talking with our support department and we have walked you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware with no change to performance, then it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our Router and Wireless Troubleshooting guide to help you further.
