hi all hope you can give me any help or advise me in some way
my current set up is a virgin hub 3 in modem mode connected to an asus ac86u, now hopefully we will be moving soon, and unfortunately
virgin fibre is not in the area so will have to use a different isp, plusnet has reasonable deals but the plusnet router hasnt got a modem mote, and it looks like the other isp,s ive looked into dont have that feature either
my partner would rather go with bt as she wants tv with the internet.
i dont know how good the bt router/hub is, but i doubt its better than the asus ac86u
so my question would be that if i needed to use the asus router how would i go about connecting it as an ap and would i need to change any settings on the asus and if so which ones, i know how to put it in ap mode, but what else would i need to do, do the ethernet port on the asus work in ap mode?
another solution would be to get a separate modem of some sort but until were in the new house i wont know where the phone line comes into the house.
could it be as simple as turning the wifi off the bt item and using an ethernet from one router to the other ?
any help would be much appreciated
