A:

NO, not anymore! They're trying to switch all their internet service over to some certain type of technology, so this modem is no longer "approved." I ended up on the phone with Tech Support from Centurylink for over an hour trying to figure out why this stupid thing didn't work. Took them that long to actually check their list and figure it out!

Yes. I use it with Century Link service. I use the Actiontec modem that is compatible with Century link, and bridge it to use this router. Turn off the wifi on the modem and use this Asus router for the wifi. It will handle up to at least 40 Mbps. Much more secure, faster, and covers more area.

Best Answer

A:

Depends on what you mean by "turn off".

If you mean "unplug from electricity", the Ethernet ports won't work, because the modem is off. It needs power to run. If by "turn off" you mean "there are no LEDs on the Modem when I turn it off", yeah, it's dead.

There are some models that can be powered by the Ethernet cords themselves, but that requires Power over Ethernet support, and the devices connected to the modem to be giving Power over Ethernet... you likely don't have that in your home.

If you mean "turn off the Wireless broadcast from the menu," Wireless and Ethernet work independently. Ethernet will work even if Wireless is turned off, generally there is no way to disable ethernet ports on most household-grade modems.

Was this answer helpful?00

A:

Don't think so. If you power off the unit, the built-in switch is powered off as well. To reduce your exposure, you should configure the WiFi to use WPA2 and a very strong password. Rather than turning the unit off, you could access the modem's setup page and turn off the SSID broadcasting. Some wireless routers even let you set a schedule for when the WiFi is turned on. Hope this helps.

This router does not work well with many items.

If you have Sprint it will not work with Airrave and the customer service at Actiontec is terrible.

They basically point the finger at everyone else when it is a known problem.

Do not buy this.

My SB6183 has a power cord, a coax cable, and an ethernet cable. We have the ethernet cable plugged into an Apple Airport Extreme. When everyone has all their devices on (iMAC, iPOD(s), iPAD(s), MacBook(s), iPhone(s), Android(s), and Windows box(s)) we have about 20 happy (mostly) MAC customers..

I would say, "Yes, it's compatible with 20+ MACs."
