    Thank you kossiewossie! Worked perfectly.

    RT-AC88U Port Aggregation Problem

    Right now, I have the Asus router set up as an AP in my entertainment room. My main router (Fios Quantum) is in the basement and I had ethernet jacks installed in most of the rooms in my house. The Asus is connected to an ethernet jack behind my entertainment center. I disabled the Fios...

    RT-AC88U Port Aggregation Problem

    I just received the RT-AC88U which I have running as an AP. Everything is working fine except I cannot figure out how to enable Link Aggregation feature. I have a managed switch that supports link aggregation that I want to use to run ethernet cables to several devices in my home theater...

    Are pass through home plugs preferable?

    Just for clarification, are you saying that using an extension cord to physically move a power strip further away from the Homeplug Adapter will help reduce attenuation? I am using a Homeplug adapter with my home theater setup and, by necessity, have a home theater power strip plugged into a...

    Switching ISP to FIOS How to use RT-AC66U (at least for wireless portion of access)?

    I recently switched to FIOS and am using the Asus RT-AC66U for wireless only (option 3 in your post). Couldn't be easier -- just plug the Asus router into a LAN port in the Actiontec and configure the Asus as an AP with a new IP address. It works flawlessly and allows me to retain all the FIOS...

    Netgear MoCA Installation Question

    I have decided to try MoCA to extend my internet connection to several connected devices in my living room (Apple TV, Blu-Ray, Samsung Smart TV). I plan to use the Netgear MCAB1001 kit and wanted to confirm if this will work and will not mess up my TWC cable TV service, including VOD: 1...

    Asus RT-N66u & External Antenna

    I have been using three of the Asus WL-ANT-157 antennas. They definitely improved the range and strength of my router's 2.4 MHz signal (the 5 MHz was flawless even before adding the external antennas). Since this external antenna is directional, you should be careful where you place the router...

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    Yes, the WL-ANT157 is not necessarily going to help if the router is in the center of your home because it focuses the signal in just one direction. In my case, the router is placed at the far end of my apartment so it has helped significantly, but it very much depends on your own setup and...

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    Here is a photo of the RT-N66U with the WL-ANT157 antennas. This is not the spot where I normally keep the router, but its normal location makes it very hard to photograph. Also, the antennas are normally rotated with the "Asus" label facing the back of the router, but I rotated them so you...

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    No problem, but running out soon, so I'll try to post this afternoon when I get home.

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    I promised I would report back after trying out an external antenna, so here goes. I bought 3 Asus WL-ANT157 antennas, which are dual band and directional antennas. They are pretty small and attached directly to the antenna jacks on the back of the NR-66U. I'm very pleased with the results...

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    True, but it is directional, so I'm hoping that may help.

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    Thanks for all the helpful responses and suggestions. I may try getting an Access Point, but I would really prefer a simpler solution if possible. The antenna in the YouTube video posted above looks cool, but I think it is the WL-ANT-191, which is only a single band 2.4 Ghz, so my 5 Ghz...

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    I have the RT-N66U and it is working well, except I am having trouble getting a good signal on the 2.4ghz band (probably due to interference). After trying various router settings, router placement and different channels without success, I have decided to try using a high gain replacement...

    XAVB5004 Powerline Question

    I am considering purchasing the Netgear XAVB5004 4-port powerline kit for use with my home theater setup, which has several devices that need reliable internet connections (PS3, Apple TV, Mac Mini, TV). While I was researching the product, I saw that the 4 ports in the back are rated different...

    WNHDB3004 Advice Requested

    Thanks for the advice. I was actually also looking at the 4-port Netgear AV500 HomePlug unit (XAVB5004) which looks pretty good. My only question there is that the ports on the back assign different speeds for the connections (1 high, 1 medium, 2 low). I don't want to sacrifice speed on any...

    WNHDB3004 Advice Requested

    I am considering purchasing the Netgear 3DHD WNHDB3004 for use with my home theater setup, which has several devices that need a reliable internet connection (PS3, Apple TV, Mac Mini). However, I have read that when connecting one of the units to my existing router, and then connecting the...

    Trendnet TPL-401E2K

    I am currently using the Western Digital Livewire powerline and I am getting 40-50mbps, but I'd love to get the increased speed from the new crop of "500 Mbps" powerline devices (e.g., TrendNet, Netgear or D-Link). I have two questions that hopefully someone here can answer: 1. Did I...
