[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1887206, member: 110816"] Need more info. The Airport Extreme is a WiFi router. CenturyLink would have provided a cable/DSL modem to you which might also have WiFi capabilities. The Airport Extreme by itself doesn't do anything. If the CenturyLink router is new enough it likely supports the latest WiFi standards and would be fine for your needs. So power-down and remove the Airport Extreme from your network. Login to your CenturyLink router (look up CenturyLink documentation on this) and enable the WiFi access point with an SSID that makes sense to you along with a strong password. Now connect all of your devices to his new network and test the performance. If the speeds match what you are expecting from your plan, then you're good to go. Understand that with cable Internet service, you will not get close to what the advertised speeds are based on who else is on the same service around you. [/QUOTE]
