    Minimally Tech Savy, Need Advice on Router and Improving Download Speeds

    Are there better adapters to use, still understanding the limitations due to wiring, etc.?

    Minimally Tech Savy, Need Advice on Router and Improving Download Speeds

    What about the 50 WiFi when connected to the ASUS, not going through any adapters to the WAPs?

    Adapters: TRENDnet Powerline 500 AV Nano Adapter TPL-406E I've ordered the cable I need. Will be here Sunday. ISP Modem/Router is in bridge mode. Do I need to switch it back to test?

    Minimally Tech Savy, Need Advice on Router and Improving Download Speeds

    Right, meant TRENDNET. My adapters are rated at 500Mb. Moving my PC and large screen two floors is a pain. What if I just plug in a lap top using an Ethernet/USB cable? Wifi is delivering 50Mbs. BTW, neither QoS or AiProtection have been activated on the router.

    Minimally Tech Savy, Need Advice on Router and Improving Download Speeds

    MY network consists of an Xfinity Modem and an ASUS RT-AC68R Router, firmware 386.1 beta2. I use Trend Micro Powerline adapters to deliver Ethernet to a PC and two WAPs. I just received my latest Xfinity bill and saw that they say they are delivering service to my house with 400MBs download...

    How to Troubleshoot Odd Periodic Internet Connectivity Breaks?

    Based on two days experience with the new Powerline adapter, I'd say that was the problem. I first began using these in my house about two years ago, and they solved a lot of problems I was having with WiFi. But, in those two years, two of them have failed. That shouldn't happen. Thanks to...

    How to Troubleshoot Odd Periodic Internet Connectivity Breaks?

    I've ordered another adapter. I could swap, as you suggest, but once I get everything working on my network (which is the case now, except for the PC interrupts), I never mess with it. I'll report back on results in a few days.

    How to Troubleshoot Odd Periodic Internet Connectivity Breaks?

    I've got a five month old HP Pavillion Desktop, connected to my network via ethernet through a Powerline adapter. I use several of these on my home network, one for the PC, and two others to connect WAPs. While I haven't kept an exact log of events, I'd say once or twice an hour, the PC loses...

    Any Known Incompatibility older ASUS AC68R and Windows 11?

    That's certainly what I expected when setting up this new HP, which replaced an HP. I ran out of gas with HP Tech Support on this issue after a bunch of "try this." They finally referred me to their paid tech support, where for only $50 someone would have had me spend hours fooling with my router.

    Any Known Incompatibility older ASUS AC68R and Windows 11?

    Problem is being solved.... All along, it was the "Network Password." Password in place for six years, and OK with Windows 10 of form: 56KvHG5W9. Changed to this form: irthryeu92. Wifi Connects. Go figure.

    Any Known Incompatibility older ASUS AC68R and Windows 11?

    In Windows 11, Under Manage known networks, the Forget button appears next to the network name. In my case, the only network showing is the Guest Network. I'll try your idea tomorrow, but using that network for my PC is not really an option. There must be a Windows issue that prevents the...

    Any Known Incompatibility older ASUS AC68R and Windows 11?

    The thing is this new PC replaces one operating in the same spot with exactly the same described connectivity and architecture for five years without a problem. Thanks for your interest. I’ve got some suggestions from Microsoft to follow up on.
