    AC86U EU AC Adapter

    I saw that one on AliExpress... is it legit? Never ordered anything from Ali before... isn't it all just knock-off stuff? :D Edit: Considering option #5 tbh

    AC86U EU AC Adapter

    I probably should have explained, sorry, but the AC adapter is frayed and I wanted to replace it with one that didn't need an adapter any longer :)

    AC86U EU AC Adapter

    Hey, I have an AC86U that I bought over from the UK to Europe a few years ago and would like to replace the adapter with an EU model. Could someone that has one (with the two-prong EU plug) please give me some clues on the search terms in order to locate one? What does it say on yours? I can...

    Ah ok, I’ll just install it then ;)

    Wireguard wireguard installation note

    It’s actually not very well worded imho.. even the distinction between warning and ‘to need to do action x’ isn't very clear, but thanks for your explanation

    Wireguard wireguard installation note

    the installation note when you install WireGuard manager from Martineau is unclear to me.. can someone help me out please? Is it a warning, or an 'option' re: hardware accel? | ******************************************************************** | | * NOTE: WireGuard® is incompatible with...

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    I picked it up used for €110, so am happy - if there are still challenges, I'll be able to shift it fairly easily I should think :D yeah, tbh I did consider that, as I note though I got the AX86U for a great used price... no way I was shelling out €250+ for a new one I think I'm going to do...

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    that is indeed the plan :D was planning for "just in case" it didn't work though, haha

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    that's good to hear, i will give it a whirl the bit that is annoying me is i have an office in the back garden that i need to bridge to, and i cannot run a cable as it's hard landscaped (w. power, and lighting) - luckily it's only about 6 meters :D

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    I mean, I've had it like this for ~3 years now, on a single router and all is good - now I simply want a bit more coverage so was investigating if i could simply chuck money at the problem with an OOTB wireless mesh :) Interesting, I also work from home, and so does my wife, both always on...

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    i mean, we are getting in to the details here a bit, but personally i like to have the VPN on the whole network, and not on-device. that way my less-technical family members can just get on with their life, we usually leave it connected to the main country for the whole network permanently...

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    i live in the EU, and like to still watch tv from my home country, i don't need multiple running at once - sorry if there was confusion there :) yeah fair enough, i could do a pfSense fw, but that's another 'thing' to install, configure, and i guess maintain... i don't mind spending money to...

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    i am quite surprised there is no OOTB mesh with these features - heh still, at least i know i'm not going mad - i had been looking for ages! thought: is there a go-to solution for putting something 'in front' of the OOTB mesh? raspberry pi?

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    good question.. wireguard is also good, reason I state ovpn only though is that my current RT-AC86U doesn't support wireguard (afaik?), so i kinda don't think about it i've actually today ordered an RT-AX86U, which does support wireguard, so i will give that a whirl w. AiMesh anyway the...

    Wifi 5 mesh w. dedicated wireless backhaul

    Hey , I am considering switching my current RT-AC86U for an OOTB mesh system, but I need it to a) support dedicated wireless backhaul, and b) allow me to connect to a multitude of VPNs Flip-flopping between AiMesh, and other brands (such as...

    Extend network to cover back garden

    Righto, i got Powerline adapters (TP-Link TL-PA7027P) and can achieve ~150Mbps in the shed which is better than i expected (i expected it to not really work at all) however my internet is ~350Mbps so still a bit of a way to go @Magister - question for you, what sort of speeds / range do you get...

    Extend network to cover back garden

    the cabling out there was done in 2019 i think, so yes, pretty new

    Extend network to cover back garden

    ooo, i forgot to reply to this thread - sorry! yes, i am going to give the power line a go as and then it would be good to have a new AP in the shed, as that would be super. my main takeaway from this thread is that i wasn't overlooking some genius idea, so i'll give the ones with least work a...
