I live in NY and I have a two story house with a basement, so three floors in all. The house had limited wireless range with my Verizon Actiontec MI424WR router. I was on the router set up web page trying to tweek it. I saw a link for the Actiontec website. On the Actiontec website you can buy the WCB3000N for $99. You have to buy it there because it has preinstalled Verizon software. Plus its cheaper there. On the website on the left side cick on Verizon and the item will appear. I installed it yesterday. It is great. I now have full wireless range throughout my home and at blazing speeds. In the past the fastest I got was 23 or so. I am up to around 40 now! It is two channel 2.4 gig and 5 gig! It is plug and play. However you have to connect it to a Coax connection or an ethernet connection. It comes with a splitter so you can put it by a tv. Best to locate it furthest from the existing router fro max coverage. The only tip I can give is that the included Verizon instrctions leave you to believe that devices will automatically connect using the existing SSID and passcode from your current router. Not true. But simply search for the new bridge on your wireless device and enter the passcode on the sticker located on the device. Simple! Great for streaming video and now all the kids smartphones use Wi-Fi in all parts of the house which will drop the data usage cost. Verizon should offer this on there site. It is a new technology so it will soon catch on. Well worth the money!!!!!!!
