All cameras will need PoE. That is the only way they will be getting power, so a PoE switch is a must. I don't want to have to buy injectors for 8 cameras. Then the cost will be more than the PoE switch for those alone, even though they are cheap.

I'm setting up a surveillance system. I have to use a P2P bridge between 2 buildings at 2 different sites. The bridges I'm using are a Ubiquiti bridge. When I was on another forum that dealt with cameras, many said that I should make my whole system Ubiquiti. Well, that may be great for...

I am thinking about getting an AC68U or P to add to my AiMesh. How far can a person put the node so it is still a viable and powerful enough router. I have my main router in the basement, wired to a 68U upstairs as part of a node to my AiMesh. The other node will be in my garage and it will...

My brother-in-law has a Synology 418. He wants to be able to remotely access jpegs and be able to edit them in lightroom. Is the only way to do it by downloading it from the NAS into the computer he is remotely accessing it from? He also wants to get his excel documents and be able to edit...

Also, I just got off the phone with my IPS again and now they tell me that there was an outage that affected certain websites. Nice to know after all the hours I spent wasting my time trying to fix something I wasn't going to fix. :mad: It just came back on a little bit ago.

Yes, and it worked over my phone connection on Verizon. With the DNS what do you suggest? Yahoo and mail just came back on. I have no idea what happened.

This is as close to my category as I can get I guess. Yesterday, I was working on the computer, working in yahoo and going to my email. I had no problems at all. Then last night my wife was going to go on to her yahoo mail and it just wouldn't go. I then tried and it didn't work. I went into...

Got it. Will do. Thanks.

Do you think I should use the Merlin or the Asus Firmware in that case?

I have my RT-AC86U as my main router downstairs with Merlin firmware. I have an older RT-AC56R upstairs with Asus firmware because I don't seem to find any Merlin firmware for it. Anyway, I have seen so many conflicting reports of what to do when hooking up the cable I don't know what to do...

Also, if I do go with AiMesh, does that play well with Merlin?

RT689U? I can't seem to find that anywhere. When you say you named your 5 and 2.4 networks different SSID's , were you referring to the 86U and your other router or different SSID's on the 86U alone?

Is AiMesh my best option? Or should I just use the 2nd router as an AP? What gives me better coverage?

I have the RT-AC86U. I am looking for another router that works best in the AiMesh system . I don't want to spend near as much as the 86U cost, so I was wondering what people have found to be the best router match for the mesh system? I will have the other router hardwired if that is relevant.

Only for internet.
