Hi all. 

 

Before I go down the frustrating route of calling support I thought I'd ask here: 

 

On the advice of a few here, I decided to go with the $5 a month Slingshot CloudMesh satellite system to increase the WiFi coverage across my home. 

 

I asked the Customer Service rep at the time of ordering if I need to upgrade my router from the standard NF18ACV to the "CloudMesh Enabled Gateway" device. I was told no, but if I have trouble I should contact technical support. 

 

The Satellite device arrived today and first thing I read on the side of the box and the Quick Start Guide is "You will Need: A CloudMesh Enabled Gateway"...

 

 

 

Before I try to set this up and end up frustrated and annoyed - DO I NEED A CLOUDMESH ENABLED GATEWAY Device? 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance, team.

Hi there, can you ping me a PM with your account info? I'll take a look and check in with the team if we need to swap out the modems. Sorry for the confusion here.

Resolved. 

 

 

 

Thanks Cam! 

 

 

 

The answer is yes - a new CloudMesh compatible router is required and this is being sent to me now. 

 

Geekzone FTW!
