    Trying to keep my wifi speed high

    Got it. I have the same setup. Service is in my bedroom closet. So I put my 86U there. Which is also ethernet distribution for the house. I guess I'm lucky my closet is a decent place for distributing wifi as well.

    Trying to keep my wifi speed high

    That should work however if you have any router or ip issues you would need to get into the BGW210 for configuration and changes. I felt the interface was confusing and inadequate. Not sure how this would be different from using 1 asus as an actual wifi router and 1 asus as an AP. My opinion...

    Do you need 3 full routers? both your existing asus wont be adequate? From reading people's experience aimesh isn't that great. You are better off using the old wired AP method if possible.

    Trying to keep my wifi speed high

    I have a similar setup with AT&T combo modem/router and 2 personal routers(RT-AC86U and R7000). What I did was disable the wifi on the att device. The att modem combo is wired directly into the 86U wan port. Nothing else is connected to the modem other than the 86U. The R7000 is setup as AP...
