    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    Managed to get everything working.... sort of. The R7000 has been giving me fits, trying to keep 5G connections up. Seems devices keep dropping off, then I can't get them back on, OR... it's turned 5G off completely. I've updated firmware 3 different times, both on the R7000 as well as the...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    I hear ya! :D I already have a line runnin to the game room from upstairs. So on that one I am going to install the old Dlink as an AP and then run the five port switch off of it as well to accommodate all the various devices and 'visitors" that tend to show up. (FWIW there is also another hard...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    Just wanted to thank you all for your help, and ideas on how to optimize my network going forward. Charter cable was out today to FINALL Y get VoIP setup. Took the guy NINE HOURS to get it done. Spent the first 4~5 hours trying to figure out why the line(s) were not ported. (One was... the...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    Yeah my laptop has a mini PCIe in it now. ( I can't remember the model number off hand but I was looking at it yesterday online.) My concern with the new ones that I mentioned is driver support. (As Tim also mentioned.) Considering both of the 2x2 units have a feature that I do not currently...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    Had to find the "finder". Seems if I use those search parameters Tim that I'm surely moving to a wired router. Hmmm... need to rethink this situation. I'm to assume (hate that word as it puts and 'butt' before 'u' and 'me') that any/all AP's (g,n,ac,xx) would have no problem downstream then...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    @htismage I'm starting to see what you're saying RE ac1900. Hard to argue against the measurements. @System Error Message On your second reply... Which again is very informative! (Albeit some of it is at the fringe of my understanding of how routers work.) ;) I do however understand...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    WOW... now THAT is a reply! :D I'd like to SERIOUSLY thank you for your time. Yeah I understand 5 Ghz has fairly short penetration/range, which is why I'm wanting a new main AP with as much power/as many antenna's as possible.(Beam forming/shaping...). OTOH, my rooms (at least for a residence)...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    Thanks for the reply brother.... was beginning to wonder if anyone has any ideas on the subject.:confused: I already know that I'll want a strong AC router as the base, just which one would give me the range I need (when in the bedroom for instance). I've been looking at the 7000, (and the...

    Old Dude... help me build new AC network

    Hi all! :) So first, to get this outta' the way... I've read (and lurked) around here for a few years plus now. Needless to say I'm nowhere NEAR a router 'nerd' (that's a good thing btw though for those that are) but I am a tech nut. ;) I'm going to go ahead and apologize in advance, because I...
