Non removable antennas is a deal breaker for me - madcity81
Why do you need to remove the antennas? If you want a large outdoor mast, this isn't an outdoor weatherproofed unit, and based on the performance, the included antennas do quite good. However it does have standard antenna connectors on the mainboard, they aren't soldered on or anything so if you want to open it up, you can swap antennas that way, and if you want to, could put some R-SMA pigtails on the housing which aren't expensive on , like a buck a piece or less in volume.
So would it take place of what Centurylink issued? if yes wil it improve my service? - neza
You'd have to give us complete details of what they issued to you and what needs improved about your service. Unless you have recently bought a current generation wifi router, it should improve your wifi if your devices are modern enough to benefit. Odds are it will improve your wifi even if they aren't, but if it's very old gear, the return on investment is smaller.
If you are renting a router from them, it is a no-brainer to buy this and not have to pay a monthly rental fee, providing you have the ability to set it up yourself or know someone who can.
There is nothing special about this router besides the price to performance (and features, and being able to run DD-WRT) ratio, so essentially you need to consider if you need ANY new router, if any new router will be a benefit to you. Often it will, but it depends on your specifics.
Is this going to work with a Comcast cable type of connection that comes in and replace Comcast modem?? - GTMIT
This does not replace a modem. It is the next device in the chain after the modem, serving as the logical *computer* connected to the internet and then it services all clients, computers, cellphones, cams, whatever, connected to it over ethernet or wifi.
The larger question is whether you need a new router. If you do this is a great value. If you don't, you don't... unless you're renting one from your ISP in which case it makes sense, is cheaper and this is more modern faster tech, to own your equipment instead of renting it.
