Question 1

Do i need a internet provider to get internet

Accepted Answer

Slow down peers!  Look at the date of this question: 6/9/14!  And, this may have been a senior!  @RossGellerDressForLess and @iBuyStuffOnAmazon - y’all are not reflecting well on your family or your value systems.  The mindset you two have is crystal clear - and I for one would never allow myself to associate with either.

Now, one could have a unlimited data plan for voice, use the hotspot on the phone for the “internet” and connect to this device
OR
Could purchase an stand alone modem, and T Mobile offers one.  (Phone company)

i appreciate this question, as THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION!  Only humans who bx in a bullying manner.  Shame they are adults.

Question 2

Does the adapter work on 220-230 voltage? or is 110V only?

Accepted Answer

Power supply with the router says it is rated for 100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 1.0A.  So it should work for the 220-230 voltage range.  Plug is standard 110v so an adapter would be needed for the other plugs.

Question 3

how do I set up the guest network?

Accepted Answer

The guest network is a nice feature as you can operate it, with or without a password,  for guests completely separately from the network you are using for your own devices.  Setting up a guest network is optional, but if you do set one up, it is better to use password protection for it.  Your instruction book instructs you to register your router at www.netgear.com .  On page 5 of your instructions, it gives you a website for logging in to your router's account (routerlogin.com or routerlogin.net).  In your instruction book, the default user id and password are provided for your first login.  Once in your account (the NETGEAR Genie), it is best to change the default password.  Your account screen is divided into categories both by list and by icon.  One of the icons is called "Guest Access".  Hitting Guest Access will bring you to the place in your account where you can 1) enable a guest network which will probably be called "NetGuest"; 2) select the level of encryption that you want for your guest network (normally the shorter of the two choices); and 3) set up a password to protect the use of the guest network (if you don't set a password then anyone within range can use it).  Once you have done this then you can go into your admin icon and change your login password for your account.  The guest network will show up when a device searches for a Wi-Fi network.  It should show up as "NetGuest" and, if you added a password, the Wi-Fi choice will also show a closed padlock to show that you need a password to use that network.  If you have a guest, you can give them that password, but you will have your separate password access to the main part of your network.  The guest will not have access to that.  The guest network will probably operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency while most of your devices will be operating on the 5.0 GHz frequency.  It's pretty easy to set up as long as you get to the right place in your NETGEAR genie online account.  Hope that helps.

Question 4

Does this have a print server for the USB port?  If so, would it be bi-directional for scanning purposes?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does! Read this from pcworld.com......http://www.pcworld.com/article/2050761/netgear-nighthawk-review-this-802-11ac-router-sets-lan-speed-records.html The router has two USB ports and can support both a USB printer (you'll need to install Netgear's USB Control Center utility on each client) and a USB storage device. I recommend using the rear USB 2.0 port for the printer, and the front USB 3.0 port for a storage device. I attached a 500GB USB 3.0 Western Digital My Passport drive to the front port and recorded file-transfer speeds that were from 188 percent to 400 percent faster than the Asus RT-AC66U's USB 2.0 port managed. For the first time, I can recommend using a portable hard drive connected to a router as a viable alternative to a more expensive, dedicated NAS box
