Hi.
I'm a noob using network connectivity so please bear with me.
I normally surf internet at a StarBucks or the Local Library.
Lately my internet use increased. Decided I will order (next month) full Internet service from an ISP (Time Warner) provider. Use their Modem(free) and purchase a AsusRt-Ac66u router.
I'll start with 100 mbps internet speed for Web Surfing, Heavy Video streaming and moderate Downloading.
Will use AusRt-Ac66u router for wired only instead of wireless for these 3 reasons:
1 Using just one connection, my PC (XPS 13 9390) for home use. No other external devices.
2 Have a small apartment on the 4th floor of a 20 floor building. Very congested area.
3 Plan to purchase a Nvidia Shield Android Box for my HD TV. Was told Ethernet works better with Android Box.
Just not sure wireless connectivity will give me the speed in the environment I currently reside.
Have a One+3T Android phone. I would like (on occasions) connect to the Internet when not using my PC.
2 Questions:
1. Just looking at the AusRt-Ac66u user guide online, I'm not clear how to configure the wired settings on this router. Is it just keeping your PC plugged into your LAN port (router) then establish username/password credentials in the setup wireless screen first time?
2. I mention wanting to use my Android Phone in my Home Network. If my router is Wired only, how can I connect my Android phone to use the internet on my network?
Can I change the router setting to switch from Ethernet to Wireless on the fly? Or are there some 3rd party adapters I can connect my Phone with the Router?
Thanks.
TC.
