    Need some advice on Mesh strategy

    So for the 600 mbps Xfinity service is the SB8200 modem still the best choice? I shouldnt get a modem/router combo and put the Eero in bridge mode? Just use the Eero direct connect to the modem?

    Need some advice on Mesh strategy

    Thanks. I love smart straightforward advice. Questions Will the modem upgrade give me a noticeable boost? I don’t really muck with the WiFi and just really use mostly out of the box settings. A set it and forget it guy. What is the advantage of using the ASUS as a wired router as compared...

    Unable to Connect to Modem using App or Browser

    Yes - have tried multiple browsers on different devices. No luck. Question, if I do a hard reset do I need to do this on my main Asus router only, or both the main router and the mesh router as well?

    Unable to Connect to Modem using App or Browser

    @colintaylor Yes I mean router. I have rebooted many times. Nothing has changed but can no longer assess the router via the app. I can also not access the router via router.asus.com.

    Using old Apple AirPort Extreme as backup drive

    One other question. I have all Windows computers. I assume once I connect the Apple Airport drive (3TB) I can see it on the network and then use standard utilities to backup up my data. I checked the Time Machine feature on the Asus router and it seems like it is only for OSX
