Hello, not sure about the category of my question. Sorry for the stupid question, but network is not my thing. I would like to know is there's any value on connecting an ethernet multi gig device (ie 2.5G) on a mutligig router if this device is the only one in the network to be more than 1gig...

yes, only one SSID for both band. But no issue with my windows 11 laptop, only on my windows 11 desktop and the asus wifi card.

Hello, I have just installed an ASUS pce-axe59bt Wifi card. I installed the Windows 11 64 bit drivers from the ASUS website. The Wifi power is at maximum but I'm in 2.4GHZ, not 5GHZ. In the advanced settings of the device manager, the card is set to 802.11ax. My network is an asus mesh...

I need more wifi range with ethernet backhaul! I was thinking adding a second ax86u, but I don't need most of the features. Then I looked at the Asus zen wifi, but not sure if I Can use the 2.5g as backhaule and not sure if they are fully compatible with my aimesh network. I will have a look at...

Hello, I have an aimesh network with Asus ax6000 as master and rt-ax86u as first node (connect with 2.5g port). I'm very happy with the quality of the network wesh. I would like to Add one or two node and i'm looking for advice for the cheapest solution but with the same level of quality...

Hello, I'm in the same reflection about having a mesh network with my actual RT-AX86U. So clear the best solution is AX86u or gtax6000. Is there any advantage taking gtax6000 (as main router) or the benefits are the same with ax86u ? Also, as I want mesh by wired connection,can you confirm it's...

Hello, I have an access point asus rp-ac68u, which was successfully working until today. It was connected, as an access point, to an old netgear wndr37av router, wired connection, and provided 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi network. I change my netgear for an asus rt-ax86u. Now the wifi networks of my...

Thanks for your answer. This is my network infra: - 2 modem cables - 1 router Netgear WNDR3700 (also used as switch); It will be replaced by an asus rt-ax86u in a few hours - 1 switch Netgear GS716T-300EUS - 2 switch Netgear GS108V3 - 1 switch Netgear Nighthawk S8000 - 1 Repeater Netgear...

Hello, I plan to go for dual wan with an ER-4 router. I need some advice, not about the fact to choose dual wan, but more on how easy is it to set up dual wan with the ER-4. I read some posts about the dual wan configuration and sometimes it seams easy for me (automatic with the wizard...

Hi, I have a Netgear WNDR37AV router connected to a cable modem of my provider. My pc's are connected to the router by cable (rj45). Since last week, each day, I'm loosing internet connection on all my pc. The workaround is simple: I restart the router and all is running fine. But I have to...

Ok but I will still have the second internet connection. By the way, If my first connection si full (no more bandwith because of traffic, so actually 125mbps full used), dual wan doesn't help and redirect the needs to second connection (and so, more bandwidth available) ?

@Trip , going back to single wan connection is where I'm today and the main reason I want to change my setup. I have two cable connections, from the same ISP. It's not a choice of mine, me and my wife have company package with Internet connection, each of us, so I have two separate connections...

@Trip , thanks again, complete response with all possible impacts ! So, it was indeed a lot to digest :) Even if some parts were not "digestible" for me, your analyse make me realize the way I have to choose ==> Even If I can learn a little, I'm more a "common" end user, so plug&play has to be...

@Trip , I didn't expected a so complete and detailed answer, thanks a lot !!! So you learn me about a lot (probably too much for my knowledge :), as you have may understood I'm so a newbie in network) of network information. So now, If you allow, I have more question;) Until now, I only know...

Hello, I have to change my router and I'm looking for a router that meets my needs. If information is available in the specs of the routers nothing better than users feedbacks ! My requirements: - Top class Wifi (wifi 6, mega bandwidth, mega coverage) - Robust in terms of bandwidth...
