    Overkill? RT-AC68U as Access Point

    Hi, for my rather extensive house network (1x RT-N66U as "master" router, 4x RT-N56U as access points) I'm currently looking for a smart way to add yet another access point to reach a spot of our house that isn't covered well yet. I'm thinking of these three approaches: 1) Buy a...

    2.4GHz performance with Macs

    Thanks for the quick tip but unfortunately setting different SSIDs across all 5 routers is not feasible in my house. It's a pretty open (hippie?) neighbourhood and we frequently wander around each other's places with our laptops & phones. So the WiFi / SSID roaming that lets the clients...

    2.4GHz performance with Macs

    Hello hello hello, I have installed a couple of Asus routers across my house to share a single VDSL line with my neighbours: 1x N66U as a main router and 4x N56U as access points connected by ethernet. Almost all wireless clients are either OSX or iOS devices and WiFi performance on the...

    DUAL WAN on RT-N66U

    Hi there, I recently upgraded my RT-N66U to the latest official Asus Firmware (3.0.0.4.374_979). Since I'm running a total of 4 Asus routers (1x N66U as the main router and 3x N56U as Access Points) serving circa 25 clients on a single DSL line (50down/10up), I'm considering subscribing to a...

    Two modems for a single WLAN possible?

    I've read through a lot of forum posts and reviews and I'm pretty sure now that a Draytek Vigor 2920 will be the perfect choice for my plan, since it offers Gbit Etherner over the lousy 100Mbit ports of the Cisco, hooray! :)

    Two modems for a single WLAN possible?

    I have just skimmed through the datasheets of both the Cisco and the Netgear routers and I've found out that only the Cisco is capable of UPnP. I really want my router / DHCP server to be UPnP capable to get rid of all the port forwarding hassles. So, can you please tell me that the "slow"...

    Two modems for a single WLAN possible?

    Hey guys, thanks for your answers so far! It's really motivating to see that by either using a dual WAN router or a self built custom PFSense machine could in fact help me with getting rid off the internet bottleneck. To be honest, I want to avoid building a custom PC because I really like...

    Two modems for a single WLAN possible?

    hi teknojnky, i have to be honest: i didn't really check whether my wireless or my internet line is the bottleneck. i'm still pretty sure though that the 50mbit line has reached its limits since there isn't a lot of filesharing going on between the computers of my neighbours – most of them...

    Two modems for a single WLAN possible?

    hi there, i've just finished setting up a wireless network for our house (approx. 20 people connect to the network). it consists of a modem, a router and two repeaters (to extend the signal to the distant floors and rooms). after a few days of using the network and the shared...
