    Have an Asus RT-1900P - would like to purchase another router for AIMesh

    What I am trying to get connected is a Ring Doorbell which is at the front of the house, and also an Apple TV in a detached guest house, also at the front of the house. There is also an Apple TV at the back of the house and Ecobee Thermostats and some WeMo switches scattered about. Before I got...

    Have an Asus RT-1900P - would like to purchase another router for AIMesh

    I was at the local micro center yesterday and the RT-AC86 is about $50 more than the 68U. So trying to decide between the 2. I was wondering how well the AiMesh RF back channel worked speedwise and if the more powerful AC686 gave any advantage over the 68.

    Have an Asus RT-1900P - would like to purchase another router for AIMesh

    As the subject says, I have an existing Asus RT-1900P that I am currently using in AP mode only. I have poor Wi-Fi coverage in one area and would like to buy another Asus and use AiMesh to extend it using the Wi-Fi backchannel as there is no way for me to extend the wired network to where I...

    Help setting up VLAN on ASUS RT-AC68U

    I am operating my Asus 1900P (same F/W as AC68) as an AP only. I use pfSense as my router, and I was wondering if it is possible using this script to place the webgui interface in a separate VLAN from the LAN side? Ideally in AP mode: vlan 10: webgui vlan 20: wifi and switch ports vlan 30...

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    I was able to improve the signal a lot by taking it off of the ceiling at 8ft, and mounting it on a shelf directly below at about 5.5ft. I think the radiation pattern must be a disk shape and was shooting over the heads. My signal strength at my ring doorbell went from RSSI -77 to -66, which is...

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    Does the range improve with the AC adapter? My devices are only in the 2.4G band and I finding I had better signal with my old netgear router.

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    I was wondering about the POE injector that mine came with. It is 48V at .35 Amps. Is there a regular Ac adapter you can use as I have an AC receptacle less than 2 feet away so don’t need POE?

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    I received it today and after bit of learning curve, it seems to be working as I wanted. It has Virtual APs that you can set up with different SSIDs on different VLANs. Now I am wondering whether I should replace my Asus with another Cisco for the back of the house also. Although the asus...

    IPv6 with Prefix Delegation

    No, the Asus doesn't support subnetting, which is what is required for a prefix that is not /64.

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    I won the auction. It does not have the mounting bracket, so no one else bid on it. $20.50 + $19.95 shipping. Hopefully it works. It always makes me nervous with eBay.

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    I on impulse just bid on a Cisco 371 on eBay.

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    If I could get the asus to support separate VLANs aimesh would be a good option, but it doesn’t seem to support that. I have pfSense firewall rules to allow the IOT subnet out but no local connections. My trusted WiFi is allowed to connect to IOT net.

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    It looks like the TP-Link is out if it is allowing Router Announcements to "leak" across VLANs. So glad I asked about that. If it is leaking that I wonder what else is leaking? The Cisco 371 is about $200 on BH Photo, so now looking back at the UniFi AC Lite at $76. I would assume, if I am...

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    I forgot to mention that I am using a wired backhaul vs a wifi mesh. Currently I am using powerline adapters, which while not ideal I am able to get about 80Mbit thru.

    Recommendation for an AP that supports multiple VLANs different SSID's

    My current configuration is that I have a pfsense router with an 2 different interfaces each attached to an wifi AP with different SSIDs. One is for IOT devices such as thermostats, tv's, etc and it is located in the front of the house. The other is setup for "trusted" wifi devices which has...
