    Setting up a wireless AC Router as an Access Point

    It sounds like a third party router is a good option but the RT-AC68U is $175 +. The Fios Quantum Gateway, AC 1750, can be found online anywhere from $120 to $150, but I'm sure the Asus is a better product. Any sense in going with it and just replacing the AT mi424wr rev. 1 as the main router?

    Setting up a wireless AC Router as an Access Point

    If I get an Asus AC router I'd connect it via Gig E to either my AT router or AT extender as an AP. Not sure if there's a difference using either device. In addition to its wifi, I'd like to use the AP for print sharing, guest network. Not sure what other features I know enough about to use...

    Setting up a wireless AC Router as an Access Point

    Thanks for your reply, whsbuss. I don't think the wifi on the Actiontec has to be turned off, but I'm guessing that's how you set up your Asus as an AP. Is it LAN to LAN connecting the Actiontec router to AC68-R? I'm not sure exactly what 'setting up the guest network in AP mode won't isolate...

    MoCA 1.1 and 2.0 adapters

    I know very little about networking. Since I'm connected through coax with a MoCA 1.1 Fios provided router, I was trying to determine if I could try to take advantage of MoCA 2.0 speeds through the coax connections in my house. Fios offers a Quantum Gateway, which is MoCA 2.0. It's AC1750. Not...

    MoCA 1.1 and 2.0 adapters

    Thanks for your response, degrub. I have a coax connection in each room in my house. I'm not wired for ethernet. My ONT is outside and wired with coax. My router is on the first floor in a corner of the room, closest to the ONT outside. There's a MoCA 2.0 two-way splitter from the wall coax...

    Setting up a wireless AC Router as an Access Point

    I'm considering upgrading to a AC router. I have the Fios Actiontec N-router (MoCA 1.1) mi424wr rev. 1 downstairs in the corner of a room connected to the room coax. Upstairs in my room I have a Actiontec wcb3000N dual-band wireless N-extender connected through my coax. via a 2-way splitter...

    MoCA 1.1 and 2.0 adapters

    The MoCA 2.0 adapters I referenced only have 1 ethernet port on each adapter, not two. I'm not sure if a MoCA 2.0 adapter is an upgrade to the MoCA 1.1 dual band N-extender I already have. There are two ethernet ports on my Actiontec extender. I hard wired with ethernet my TV and Roku to it...

    MoCA 1.1 and 2.0 adapters

    I have Fios tv/internet/phone. I still have the router they provided me years ago, Actiontec MI424WR Rev. 1 - Gigabit Wifi N-Router. Doing some reading it shows that this router supports MoCA 1.1, not 2.0. I've looked into MoCA 2.0 adapters, ECB6000 and ECB6200 from Actiontec. They only have...

    Buy an AC router to pair with Fios router

    Sfx - I feel for your dilemma too, but it sounds like you really know your way around networking, unlike myself. I know the basics. I'd probably be happy with a good plug-and-play router to use as an access point or bridge (unsure which one) with my Fios router, which cannot be removed in my...

    Buy an AC router to pair with Fios router

    Thanks for your reply sfx. My Actiontec MI424WR Rev. 1 seems fine. It never has to be rebooted. When I first posted this topic, I didn't mention that the WCB3000N N-dual-band (from Fios) Extender improves my signal/range upstairs only in my room, where it's connected to the coax, and the...

    Buy an AC router to pair with Fios router

    Thanks for your answer, Steve. What I take from it is that the 900 mW Archer C9 is not preferable to the 'regular' Archer C9. I'm surprised on SNB that the Archer C9 doesn't rank well in the AC1900 routers category, but on Amazon, the reviews are some of the highest I've seen for any router.

    Buy an AC router to pair with Fios router

    Thanks for the quick reply, Pete. Is it much more of a hassle to set up a TP-Link router in AP or Bridge mode w/o these specific modes in the gui? I don't see a review on the site, but I see what looks to be a stronger Archer C9 on its site. It's black and has 900 mW high power amplifiers...

    Buy an AC router to pair with Fios router

    Pete, In the SNB version of converting a wireless router into an Access Point, which you said is SNB's version of wan bypass mode, it says to make sure "not to use the WAN port." You said in AP mode: you still connect to the wan part of the router, and select AP modem from its gui. That's...
