    Internet on Wireless Access Point stops working (Seniors' residence)

    Port 46 is where the router is connected. Port 48 is the other WAP (RT-AC32100) (The one which is working good). Port 50 is the WAP we're having problems with. Here are the stats (For the last 2 days - 4 hours): For port 46 (Router) : Port 48: (the other WAP; RT-AC32100; The one which...

    Internet on Wireless Access Point stops working (Seniors' residence)

    At the beginning I've proposed the owner to install ubiquiti unifi APs. He didn't want to. He just said : "Install the most expensive router you can find. That's what I want". He just wants the residents to be able to go on the internet with their tablets. The employees don't need the wi-fi for...

    Internet on Wireless Access Point stops working (Seniors' residence)

    Are the Chips on the top or on the bottom on the RT-AC3100? Is there a way to check the temperature with the Asus Firmware? I could with Merlin, but now that it's back to stock, I don't see any options for that. CLI maybe?

    Internet on Wireless Access Point stops working (Seniors' residence)

    Could be that. The switch is a TP-Link TL-SL2452. It's a smart switch. When I've installed that switch I didn't fiddle with any security settings though. It's probably much like a dumb switch right now. Here's an emulator which shows practically what I have to play with...

    Internet on Wireless Access Point stops working (Seniors' residence)

    Could it really be cables? Could cables work good for 10 days and then not work suddenly? And then work good for x days. With cables wouldn't it be like : "It just works or it just doesn't work"?

    Try different cables, not really. There's only one cable going from Building 2 to 3. Only one cable going to WAP in Building 3. But I can swap WAP's. Good Idea. Do you think it matters that the WAP is upside down?

    It shouldn't matter. The WAP's are setup as routers. The main network feeding internet is 198.168.7.1. It is connected to the WAN port of the WAP's. Then each WAP distribute their own local IPs via DHCP to their clients. Clients of WAP in building 3 cannot "speak" with clients of WAP in building...

    Internet on Wireless Access Point stops working (Seniors' residence)

    Hi, I've installed a Wi-Fi setup in a Seniors' residence. We've had weird problems since one month (or more...). I'll explain all the problems we've had in details later in this post (See *** below). For now I'll explain the current issue: There's an Asus RT-AC3100 in building 3, configured...

    Wi-Fi setup for small motel

    I needed to apply a quickfix before I went on vacation, since they needed WiFi really bad. So I figured I'd give powerline a try. The AV500 are kinda affordable. I went and purchased many TP-Link TL-WPA4220 (AV500). Installed one every 3 rooms. I couldn't go further than 180 feet from the...

    How to Block internet access to precise IP range at night?

    It's probably the way to do with current Merlin firmware. It looks like to much trouble (for me). I've found out that DD-WRT could do it. https://www.dd-wrt.com/demo/Filters.asp : Access Restrictions: WAN Access: Edit list of clients: There we can input an IP range. I don't have the...

    How to Block internet access to precise IP range at night?

    Hi, I have an Asus RT-AC87U with the latest Merlin firmware on it (380.61). I'd like to block internet access to ip range 192.168.4.103-192.168.4.200 during the night. I've looked at the Firewall - Network Services Filter, but it seems impossible to specify a specific and precise IP range...

    Wi-Fi setup for small motel

    Do some of you guys have some experience with Powerline adapters for using the powerline instead of running cables? Could they be a viable solution (Stable enough)? I mean we could use a couple of those adapters and plug APs in it. It would be simple to deploy, without running cables. Maybe not...

    Wi-Fi setup for small motel

    OK. So far, from what I understand : It's better to use many APs not too far from each other. Since if a device is too far from an AP, it might be able to download good but won't be able to upload properly. It's better to use Cat5e cable instead of using repeaters. If we install AC APs...
