    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    @L&LD, So I have returned the TP Link AP. Now the router would drop once a day when no streaming happening at all. I will reset it again and/or might try another 2.4GHz channel other than channel 11. My question is, what might be the Asus router problem when the streaming video (no other clients...

    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    Thanks for your input. @L&LD mentioned about RT AC-86U to utilize the AiMesh feature but I wonder if the RT AX-68U (also has this feature) would work, too. https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?q=Asus&searcharea=deals&searchin=first

    Thanks. I'll do those. It's a great joy to have a chance to discuss with you. Have a great weekend.

    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    Thanks a lot. I'll try those. I want to move the AP as far as possible from the router but unfortunately the max is 30ft as shown on the floor plan because the AP is between the two far end bedrooms and there's a wall outlet to power up the AP.

    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    Yes, it's symmetrical. The AP is wired to the main router via Cat 7 cable. The clients are evenly divided to half and half for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I once read your testing method but it's too complicated to an average guy like me so I guess I could do 'trial and error' by playing with different...

    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    They're a foot from the ceiling and other dimensions so there's breathing space. The advertised speed is 400 Mbps. Is an access point a repeater? I thought they're different? On top of my head, not a full list of clients connecting to the Asus router: (3) Ring cameras 24/7, (9) Chromecasts, (3)...

    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    Thanks L&LD for your advice. Since I don't have wired devices as they are wireless, and also I'm not sure the Access Point TP-Link EAP225 can be used as a media bridge, I guess I have to use the Asus RT-AC68U router as the only Wifi source. There are still drops when many chromecasts stream at...

    Is it my modem or my Asus router causing the intermittent connection drops?

    After resetting the router, it works fine so I think I will stay with Spectrum for now. The problem now that I have more casting devices plus Ring cameras. I'm trying to adding the AP to work together with the existing router.

    Adding an AP to an existing router: same or different SSIDs?

    Hi All, My Merlin powered Asus RT-AC68U works pretty well with about one or two drops a week when there's some video casting in the rooms from the far end of the house. I just got a new TP-Link EAP225 as I have lots of devices such as 9 Chromecasts, Ring cameras, 9 phones, etc.. This is not a...

    Is it my modem or my Asus router causing the intermittent connection drops?

    Nothing happened in March. There's no sniffing because I keep changing SSID and passwords.

    Is it my modem or my Asus router causing the intermittent connection drops?

    Hello All, My first post here. Short version: If the devices such as chrome-casts, tablets ALL show the message that they are connecting to the router but there's no internet. And if only the modem (not router) is unplugged, wait a minute and turned back on and there's internet again then the...
