    Trying to keep my wifi speed high

    this was in regards to the AiMesh router and node? whatever it is, it was definitely a lower result based on a speedtest. I will look into this. thank you I cannot use 1 Asus router as the main and the 2nd Asus router as an AP because how the home's wires are physically set up. the external...

    Trying to keep my wifi speed high

    OH I had another idea... will this work? both Asus routers are hardwired APs to the ATT Gateway. disable the ATT gateway wifi and only use the wifi from the 2 Asus routers. set both router SSID's to be the same. will this work? I at least get good coverage in 2 of 3 sections of the house...
