With regards to fine tuning the positioning of your existing AX this Forum Stickie might be of some interest? With regards to using a wireless backhaul between two (2) AX86Us the bigger issue comes to play when a user connects to the same radio that is backhauling to the router. Let's call the...

Trip always comes up with the best solutions. Me? I come up with cheap. If it's just two wireless nodes (wireless router and AP) I usually just go with an AP. If it's three or more nodes I start looking at MESH. If you were happy with the powerline (save for the backhaul) you could keep the...

Congratulations! Now I'm left wondering; Can you connect to the Draytek using, say, the 2.4 GHz radio only thus leaving the 5 GHz radio / SSID for clients only? (I've set up repeaters/extender before but never the Asus version.)

That is unfortunate. The Asus is a "Router". AP, Repeater, etc. are simply tweaks, configuration alternatives. As such I'm not surprised that they didn't clean up the main GUI to reflect their limitations. I am a little surprised you bought a router to dumb down to serve as an AP when one...

With the Asus in "Repeater" mode you will connect to one of the Draytek "guest" SSIDs. The Asus will then broadcast a SSID for clients. I "think", by default, the client SSID will have a slightly different name but can be renamed to the SSID name you prefer. If/when you get that working we...

Uh oh. ISP Router? I mistakenly assumed you were using an Asus Router which allows multiple SSIDs, some guest and some not. Does your ISP router allow similar? If so then yes to a, yes to b and yes, I do believe the vernacular would be "repeater mode".

I've observed the same. An Asus in "router" mode: Ethernet - Full Access Main SSID - Full Access "Guest" SSID - Optional Isolation An Asus "AP" simply inherits the attributes of its connection into the router thus a simple solution is to connect the AP wirelessly to the router's guest SSID...

Kinda curious how things went for you?

"About" 137 & 90 Mbps respectively ...

I stand corrected. First time I've seen pricing done this way. (Hope it doesn't catch on : -) "EQUIP, TAXES & FEES: Free standard installation with online orders. Modem-lease will be charged $10.00 a month. Free Smart Router available with leased modem. Limit 1 router per household. A $3.50...

I'm surprised. I've never seen a "modem" rental fee. I have seen "wifi/router" rental fees. Sometimes the vendor provides an all-in-one "modem/wifi/router" so there's a fee for that. I've had vendors remove their routers, replace "all-in-ones" with a modem only and even bridge an...

Or ... you could hardwire a device such as the ol' Netgear 6150 to your router for garage / side-yard access? It's cheap (as compared to using mesh or a router), doesn't take up much space and is easy to set up. It will allow you to use up to two existing SSIDs but, using hardwire, will not...

But you provide this amazing service to all of us for Free! Is that not charity : -)

Well that is good news but how does that work? Wouldn't, for example, beacons have to be sent at a mere 10 Mbps to be backwards compatible?

Good point. Now when I check the "N Only" box under 2.4 GHz do I eliminate that liability? If so when will we see a similar feature under 5 GHz (to eliminate backward compatibility for A)?
