    Access Point purchasing advice

    Sorry for the delay in replying here, no time at all these days ... So I got the UAP-AC-LR to try it out. So far... not impressed. I've tweaked its settings for performance and disabled the 5GHz radio, but I can't get nearly as good a range as I did with the RT-AC66U with both APs in the same...

    Access Point purchasing advice

    hi sfx2000, thank you for the reply. I agree with you that there's a lot of aspects that define how well or how far a wifi signal will go, but I disagree that all access points/wireless routers have the same performance. What would even be the purpose of websites like this if that were true...

    Access Point purchasing advice

    Hi all, I'm looking to buy an access point. I currently have a RT-AC66U running as access point only (I don't need the router features, my router is pfSense). The range on the RT-AC66U has been getting worse over time, but also since a few months it refuses to sometimes let some clients...

    WDS vs repeater mode

    RMerlin, To be fair for my use which is just at home I don't think it matters if they drop the rotating key. Nowadays everyone knows that a WEP key can be broken in under 5m. Anyone wanting to crack a network key in a residential area will only be targeting WEP networks because of how...

    WDS vs repeater mode

    I have an RT-AC66U and a RT-N66U. My main router is the RT-AC66U. I want to extend my wireless network and am trying to choose between WDS vs repeater mode. I have a few questions regarding this: 1) From what I see it appears that repeater mode does not create a real bridge but rather a...

    IP addresses and repeaters

    I am not too sure how this is handled in Asus firmware (or even Asuswrt-Merlin for that matter) but from what you are saying it sounds like the router creates a pseudo-bridge rather than a real bridge. This explains pseudo-bridges quite well...

    Slow upload speeds on LAN - RT-AC66U with 3.0.0.4.374.33_beta1 Merlin

    Hello, I have a RT-AC66u with 3.0.0.4.374.33_beta1 Merlin firmware. I have two computers connected: one of them via wireless using an Netgear A6200 AC adapter and another one via ethernet. I am trying to send a large file from the computer on wireless to the one on ethernet and here is...
