Hi all, I am going mad, I have set up my AC68U to AP mode.. with my AC3200 as the main router (connected my crappy virgin hub3)
But when I access the ac68u it only lets me pick one band, can it not broadcast 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously?, How does this work? I have a cat5e cable that runs through my house and connects from my new AC3200 to the "old" AC68U, and the devices that are plugged in to that, all work fine...
But the wireless isn't working, I say down next to it on my phone and it had little to no signal, obviously it was not broadcasting.
They both have original firmware, up to date. I'm thinking of flashing Merlins fw to the ac68u. Also, they are both broadcasting the same ssid, I can't see any options at all to change channel or anything on my ac68u, it just wants to piggyback from the other signal by the looks of it, and it isn't even doing that. I thought the point of it was so that I can plug a LAN cable from the new router to old and then it just broadcasts it's own wifi or copies the other? I don't want to just repeat the signal.
I don't know how to put the ac68u out of the dhcp range of the new router. (If that's even relevant?) It's all boggling my mind tbh. Oh and the ac68u main page says
Parent AP status :
Disconnected
Band: 2.4GHz
Link rate: 288.5 Mbps
Operation mode:
Media Bridge
Thanks.
