    Non-Wireless Router or Switch With Cable Modem?

    I think I figured it out, I am going to use an old N66U I have laying around in the closet and turn off the wireless bands, then setup my A68U in another part of the house as an access point. I am going to put the A68U about 20 feet from the N66U, I want to do this because I have a smart tv...

    Non-Wireless Router or Switch With Cable Modem?

    I'm not sure if the title accurately describes my issue. I have a closet that has my internet into the house (comcast coax) and also is a centralized location for cat 5 cabling. Right now I have my cable modem and router in the closet (Asus A68U). The router is also connected to the cat 5...

    Wired Router as Internet "Gateway"

    What about the processor speed and specs of the wired router. I have seen on newegg some lower end trendnet ones people complain about speed decrease.

    Wired Router as Internet "Gateway"

    Probably dumb question, but the wireless router would be an AP right? If I were to go this route, I'd just need to switch the router to AP mode?

    Wired Router as Internet "Gateway"

    My house was wired such that I have a central internet "hub" in a closet, with my cable lines and ethernet lines that run to various places in my house. Right now I have a wireless router in the closet, but I'd like to get it out of there to improve the signal strength. My idea was to get a...

    Wireless AC Questions + Access Point

    Thank you for that link, I looked (obviously not that well) but didn't see it. So the way I have my current AP setup is that is has the same SSID as my 2.4ghz network. I do this for uniformity in the house, so I dont constantly have to switch networks manually when moving room to room with my...

    Wireless AC Questions + Access Point

    I currently have an ASUS NT66U (Dark Knight) router and I am looking to improve signal strength in my house. I am thinking about buying an AC router and then setting up the NT66U as an access point, preferably on the 5Ghz band. I have a really old DLink wireless g router setup as an access...

    Access Point - What Router to Compliment my RT-N66U

    Thank you for all the help so far. I am leaning towards not having the access point in my bedroom, as it would still be on the opposite side of the house from where I want to stream movies. I am leaning towards a MoCA adapter. My question is, would it be a good idea to have the 2nd MoCA...

    Access Point - What Router to Compliment my RT-N66U

    Its a faint smell, I don't know how hot it is, its slightly warm to the touch. So far, I haven't been terribly impressed by the range of my N66U, I am considering selling it and getting two different other routers... Back to the access point, so I gather if you mix and match routers, the "main"...

    Access Point - What Router to Compliment my RT-N66U

    I would like to setup an access point by repurposing a router. I have a RT-N66U downstairs and my wifi coverage upstairs is fairly spotty. I want concurrent dual band, as I have some mixed devices. The one issues is that I want to be able to stream content wirelessly to the opposite side of the...
