    Review NETGEAR EX8000 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender Reviewed

    I tried the old "peel off the rubber feet to find screws" trick but nothing was there. It's not possible to be under the label because it is on the bottom of the thin plastic "stand" that juts out from the body and is not involved in keeping it together. I was hoping to find a video of a...

    Review NETGEAR EX8000 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender Reviewed

    I can't get the d@mn thing open! Do you remember the secret to getting the bottom half apart? The top 2 screws are no problem and I can separate the halves up there, but the bottom seems to interlock without any screws or latches. Grrrr.

    Google original pucks - antennas

    So since the peak output power from the FCC tests was 30, I should assume the 36 was just for marketing? The FCC would fail the package if part of it violated regulations, no? I would still like to know about my other questions though. Should the radio's gain and the antenna's gain be added to...

    Google original pucks - antennas

    I said 'neighborhood' as shorthand. I was really just walking to the far reaches of the property then to the next property which is an office complex. By the time I get to the nearest office building the signal is weak. But are you talking about the output levels regardless of signal strength...

    Google original pucks - antennas

    My hands are tied on the radios and antenna. This is a non-profit community center, not a home. I can use the existing 5 Google wifi points and the antenna/amp that were acquired for free, without buying anything new. The sporadic use of the outdoor areas does not require pristine performance...

    Google original pucks - antennas

    I did not see your reply earlier. You might have read my response about testing. The two 2.4 antennas inside the puck are the same shape and mounted perpendicular to one another, so I thought they were just opposite polarities. So you are saying I need to use both 2.4GHz connections, but the...

    Google original pucks - antennas

    I tested it and the contact that had the black 2.4 lead is great. I've been walking around the neighborhood to check signal lol. Now I just have to mount the connectors permanently and put the antenna on the roof (I jury-rigged it up high today).

    Google original pucks - antennas

    I am adding an external sma connector to an original Google wifi point AC-1304 to connect it to a roof antenna TP-Link TL-ANT2415D 2.4GHz 15dBi Outdoor Omni-directional with a SkyRF 2.4G 36dB 4W amplifier. The puck has 4 internal antennae, 2.4 vert and horiz, 5 vert and horiz. I am looking for...

    A way to see all connected devices?

    Thanks, I didn't know the router had SSH. I did the arp -an command and got a list of all connections, but none of the unknown devices showed up (I know all of their mac addresses). Strange. If you're wondering why I'm doing this, I cannot reach the first unknown device and I'm trying to...

    A way to see all connected devices?

    I plugged an unknown device (it's default ip is NOT on the same subnet as all the other devices) into the back of an RT-AC87R. Activity lights come on the router and the device. I was hoping to see it appear as a mac address at least, but nothing changes in the client list. I tried the same test...
