The SBR-AC3200P is more than just a Wi-Fi Router.
It is the start of a new home network experience.
You can set it up as a stand-alone Router. And with
the optional RipCurrent Extenders, you can set up a
high-speed whole-home Wi-Fi network that uses your
existing AC electrical wiring and outlets.
For Internet connections, you must have a cable,
DSL, or satellite Internet Service Provider (ISP)
service connection to the Internet.
