    You could also do it differend but this system does not always work It’s called power line adapters So you connect 1 to the router and the other to a switch or pc It runs over your power lines in your house So no trouble with cables Problems ? The distance is limited based on your power grid...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    You need to see it this way You got x power output and devices also got x power If they can’t reach each other then they won’t communicate. Easy as that I got a WiFi antenna that got 91 dBi Most antennas got 6 dbi So I should have full speed all the time It does improve the range a bit. But...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    This depends on your budget A mesh are just some acces points and kinda like a repeater So with the amplifi hd you install basicly 3 routers on 3 differend places and you gain 3x as mutch coverage So if you want stable and fast I would use that amplifi. But if you just want internet everywhere...

    RT-AC66U keeps losing internet where do i start

    You can solve iT differend You say the netgear works good Then why not use the netgear as main hub ? And put asus behind it and dmz to the asus ? So asus is still your main but does not need to dial in If that works stable then the dial function gives the trouble ( see post above. Providers...
