    How to configure the other routers access point to have the best wifi?

    Look in the WiFi setup section. It's in one of the tabs, maybe the Pro one.

    How to configure the other routers access point to have the best wifi?

    The mobile WiFi devices (clients) cling to the access point they're connected to until it becomes so weak as to be useless. Then they search for another AP to connect to. I have tried what you have in my house and it was unsatisfactory. The best you can hope for is to find AP's that have a...

    heysoundude, I checked reddit and that's not my post. Similar, but not me.

    No. Is there a solution there? Or did my post get copied?

    USB Tether Cell to ASUS Merlin RT-AC68U in Failover Mode

    I am setting up a Moto G5+ phone running Android Oreo to use with my RT-AC68U in dual WAN failover mode. Running Merlin 380.69_2. I'm planning on having it as backup for the times I lose my primary cable internet service (not often) or if the exterior cable feeding the house gets cut. I count...

    Synology DS119j $100 NAS Reviewed

    Definitely senior moment.... And the Synology UPS support acts like a NUT server so running NUT clients, in my case WINNUT on W10 & W7 machines, controls their shutdown upon notice from the NAS.

    Synology DS119j $100 NAS Reviewed

    I'm sorry. Brain fart... The USB-B is on the UPS and it connects to the standard USB-A on the NAS. I just set up two Synology's with UPS's. You'd think I'd know one end from the other. :rolleyes:

    Synology DS119j $100 NAS Reviewed

    Notice that it does not have the USB B type connector that other Synology NAS's have to support connecting a UPS directly for shutdown control.

    Internet/WLAN speeds capping at 100Mbps. LAN speeds at near gigabit. EAP225v 3

    Blaze9, Question on WiFi roaming in your setup. I have one EAP225V3 in my network along with two Asus routers running Merlin, with one set up as an AP and a RT-68 as the network router/3rd AP. I see the latest firmware on the EAP225 supports fast roaming and I'm thinking of going all EAP225...

    How to Record IP Cameras

    Look up BlueIris security software from blueirissoftware.com. Their program is reasonably priced and will monitor a huge variety of IP cameras in addition to having generic settings for non-listed cameras. It can record locally or remotely, motion detect, and many other features.

    Selling a Smart Home?

    I enjoy automating my home but am beginning to have concerns that what I am doing is going to impact sellability when non-techie buyers evaluate the house. I have network switches in various rooms for multiple IP devices, several wifi access points, a commercial alarm system interfaced to an...

    Guest WiFi security in AP mode

    I thought it might be something like that. It looks like a dedicated AP that has vlan capability, managed switch, and a router to match is the way I'll need to go. Thanks for the quick response, RMerlin. And for your work on the firmware.

    Guest WiFi security in AP mode

    I'd like to get confirmation of what I'm seeing when I use my Asus RT-AC66U routers in access point mode and enable guest wifi. I have a home network of an RT-AC68P for the main router with two RT-AC66U's running in access point mode and hardwired to a 24 port switch. They're all running...

    Client Icons

    Is it possible to copy an automatically added client icon from one device description to another? I'm referring to the square icon that appears at the left of the description of devices in the Client Status listing and the Static DHCP listings. I have three identical Dell Optiplexes on my...

    TP-Link SG1024DE setup over VPN

    AhHa! I just tried addressing the switch GUI by it's IP address over the VPN instead of using the configuration utility and it works correctly. I guess it's a deficiency in the TP-Link Easy Smart utility, not in the routing. And the Netgear Prosafe Plus Utility isn't smart enough to scan the...

    TP-Link SG1024DE setup over VPN

    I have the TP-Link switch in my home network and use the Easy Smart Configuration Utility to set it up. It's installed and working fine with VLAN's, etc. I want to be able to access it for changes over VPN while I'm not home for extended periods. I'm using PPTP for VPN, and RT-AC68P running...

    Community WLAN with DVR and bandwidth capped hotspot

    I would recommend BlueIris for the camera software. Im running 14 cameras on it using an i7 based computer. Processor utilization is about 35%. It will support 64 cameras. Don't count on many WiFi cameras. The streaming data loads the WiFi channels quickly and slows things overall.

    Looking to upgrade Small Business Networking Equipment

    For simplicity sake and support knowledge I would suggest using the same routers and hardware at all sites. It might cost $250 more to have all pro ap's and Edgerouter POE's but only having to learn and deal with one type has to be worth a lot of time. Also, I know it's blasphemy but I've been...

    Share Internet to rental apartment

    I have exactly your diagram set up in my house. In the "what to put here" location I have a RT-N56U router connected so its WAN port receives a WAN IP address from the cable modem. Its LAN is setup up with the router address 192.168.101.1 and the DHCP set to give static IP addresses to the WAN...
