@OzarkEdge Okay, so I tried all you suggested and here are the results: 1. Hooking up a laptop to the switch directly, it gives an IP address that seems routable (77.85.xxx.xxx). Hooking the laptop to the router (which is connected to the switch), I get a 192.168.1.xxx IP address. In both...

Got it! Will test and report back later today!

I think it's getting more clear now. May I also ask, what is the difference in running the Mesh system in regular mode compared to AP mode? And will I be able to to use it in such mode if I wire it to the ISP box directly instead of the AC66U? And by retire I guess you mean to not use the AC66U...

Frankly, I don't :) As mentioned in my previous topic, my main goal is to have a fast connection on floor 1 (where my office is) and less dead spots in general on each of the two floors above, also to be able to use a single SSID to connect to, so when I move between floors to not have to...

Have to check that. If there's a difference in IP range, what would that mean? Interesting thing is that there's a wall in between the router and the node (have a cable hole in the wall where the UTP cable connecting both goes through). So I doubt they are interfering, but will check if...

Hi everyone. After a long deliberation I finally decided to buy a Mesh system (TP-LINK Deco M5 3 pack). I do have some questions about setting it up correctly, hopefully someone would be able to help me: 1. The cable connection inside my home is a bit tricky - The Fiber-Optic cable that...

Okay, so a bit of an update on my end... Lets start by attaching a diagram on my main floor (Floor 1). Several important things to note: 1. Router position in the hallway is fixed (hanging on the wall and cannot be changed). 2. My office is exactly below Room 1. 3. All devices used on floor...

Thanks a lot for all the replies. To mention a few things again: 1. Indeed, buying 2 x AC86U is definitely out of my budget. I don't know if it would be better to just get one AC86U instead of the whole 3 pack mesh and use my AC66U as an AP, but honestly hope the mesh would work better. 2...

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive reply. Its a two floor apartment with each level being around 170 square meters (1800 sq feet). There are places where there's almost no reception. I've been using some Xiaomi USB repeaters that actually improved the reception a bit, but I need to connect to...

Hey everyone. I've been eyeing a three-piece mesh system for quite some time now, cause using repeaters has been a pain in the a**. My budget is limited to ~$150, so was waiting for the Black Friday promotions to hit and see if one of my desired models (the TP-LINK Deco M5) will be on sale...

Thanks, will give it a read. But in other words, it won't work by simply installing an older firmware via Rescue mode?

Thanks for the suggestion, but would prefer to stick to the official firmware for now (if possible).

Hey everyone. I've had an AC66U for probably 5 years now and experienced no problems with it whatsoever. Recently I had to relocate my office to a different room, which is a bit far from the unit itself, so connection wasn't as good as before. Decided to finally mess with the settings a bit...

Hi guys, as a new owner of the AC66u I have searched a lot for some tips about optimizing it for best performance and ended up finding almost nothing. So I`m starting this thread (sorry if it has been already posted, but really could not find it) in search of some advice. Today I updated to...

Couple of very noobish questions, cause I`m a new owner of the AC66: 1. If I upgrade my AC66u to latest Merlin firmware (from 3.0.0.4.354) will it void warranty or something like that ? 2. Is it easy for downgrade to official firmware, or older versions ? 3. Will Merlin firmware improve range...
