    Ax88U wireless to wired

    No didn't have that model already it's about $200. I read a review on it and it seemed to have impressive range. Not sure how far the apartment WiFi antenna is. Thought this one might be able to make a good signal. Cost really wasn't a concern.

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    Likely whatever I get it will be Overkill, it's a hobby lol. Yes I assume it's a password I enter into the wifi for the SSID I am connecting to. I hope it is not a login page. Won't know for a little bit as the apartment is still being built. That is is good point though

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    I wasn't able to speak to a tech person. Only an office manager. They said it's 100/100 up and down but because it's wifi it fluctuates. So likely not quite 100Mbbit.

    Is the RP-AC68U going to be any good at pulling in the apartment WiFi signal?

    Thanks for all the information! So use the AC or whatever Asus router as a repeater, connect to the wifi. Then attach it with a Cat6 cable to my Ax88U Wan port? Then I'm good to go.

    Stuck with this apartment lol. All about the location! Performance is my main driver. Security second. All it is used for is streaming 4K content, downloading large gaming installs off Steam.

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    Currently where I live I have wired gigabit internet provided by a cable modem and use the WiFi function except for tablets and phones . I have Cat6 going from the router to 4 computers and 3 TV's. Where I am moving to they only have WiFi and don't allow isps so there are no cable Jack's in...

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    Some forum posts suggest repeater mode cuts throughput in half? Does using a router that I assume would have superior ability to pull in a signal and share to devices make more sense rather then connecting my TV's and computers individually to the apartment WiFi? I would think the WiFi antenna...

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    I am not sure of the WiFi other then it is 100/100 served by Fiber. With repeater mode I only need to use my single router and I will be able to connect to the lan ports with cable? With the link above is there a downside to repeater mode? Some routing limitations?

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    If that is the case would it be better to have two Ax88U, set the one that will connect to the WiFi to Media Bridge then connect that one to the other one with Cat6 to retain router functionality?

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    Does it require 2 routers? Where do I connect within the router software to their WiFi? My thought was that by using my Ax88U I am going to be able to pull in a better signal to distribute over Cat6 rather then then connecting all my PC's and TV's directly to the apartment WiFi. So looking...

    Ax88U wireless to wired

    I have an Ax88U and I am moving into a appartment that only has wireless internet with a password. How would I connect my Ax88U to their WiFi and share that over Cat6 cabling to all of my PC's?
