    Have: 5Gbps internet/gateway, need: Wi-Fi 6E mesh (3 APs)

    Today I upgraded from 1Gbps AT&T Fiber, to 5Gbps AT&T Fiber (via BGW-320 gateway). This gateway has a single 5Gb (/2.5Gb/1Gb) LAN port, and three 1Gb LAN ports. For Wi-Fi, I currently have an Orbi system consisting of RBR50 AC3000 router, two Orbi satellites, and an Orbi outdoor satellite...

    5Gb gateway/router to 10Gb switches and 2.5Gb clients?

    I almost feel silly asking this, but I'm giving up and coming to the experts here :) In a couple of weeks, I'm going to get a new gateway/router from AT&T with 5Gb fiber internet service. It's a Arris BGW320 that has a 5Gb LAN port. I plan on connecting that 5Gb port to my Netgear ProSafe...

    Use Netgear Orbi + LTE Nighthawk Hotspot as failover option?

    Hi guys, Not sure this is possible, but is there any (relatively cheap) way to leverage the new Netgear LTE Nighthawk Hotspot as a failover and/or BGP load balancing option for my existing Orbi router? https://www.att.com/devices/netgear/nighthawk-lte-mobile-hotspot-router.html#sku=sku8550255

    Mesh network Wi-Fi: have lots of ethernet drops (Orbi questions)

    Hi all, It's been about a year since I asked a similar question, and we have lots of new Wi-Fi mesh devices available. I have read most (all?) of the reviews here, thank to Tim. So my network and "need" is pretty simple: I have a AT&T U-verse Pace 5268AC router, for internet/VoIP (not IPTV...

    Extending, or WAP options for outdoor area

    Hello again friends, I have a modest sized house that has been perfectly served by a centrally-located Cisco WAP-4410N (PoE). I have just begun a backyard remodel project, which will include an expanded backyard patio/pergola/seating area that is about 75 feet from where the WAP is located...

    How to restrict open port access to certain MAC addresses?

    Hi guys, I've been meaning to do this for a while, so here goes: I've got an open port on my router, to access a music server program from my iPhone/iPad via 3G or WiFi outside my home. I use a DNS address to reach my IP. My router is the AT&T U-verse HGV3801. Although this port is...

    Read the stickies, but still have a question on mixed mode and 40MHz

    Hi, After some LAN reconfiguration, I've decided to keep my existing access point, the Cisco WAP-4410N. Performance is pretty good. It is 2.4Ghz only, that means it only has a single radio, correct? The question I have concerns my N-devices (iPads, iPhones, Macbook) and my G-devices (a...

    U-verse + IGMPv3 snooping, and router/switch architeture

    Hi all, So I just reconfigured my home LAN, basically from scratch. You can see a crappy picture here: I know from experience that my wireless access point has to use a port on my HGV3801 U-verse router, because of the necessary IGMP Snooping. I'm wondering just how much my LAN performance...

    Access point upgrade needed, with a few requirements

    Hello all, I recently had to relocate my Cisco WAP4410N wireless access point to another room in the house. This has been a good AP, but the new location is causing some coverage issues. Specifically, the signal is practically unusable in certain rooms where the signal has to pass through a...
