    Wifi Coverage - Asus AX86U v UniFi U7 Pro

    Hi All. Is the new UniFi U7 Pro likely to have better coverage through my house or is the Asus RT-AX86U already tough to beat? Context: I currently have an AX86U which Is great, but there is one room in the house (my son's bedroom) that gets circa -75dBm signal, which results in the wifi in...

    WiFi AP with Mesh Setup?

    The issue I have is I’m in the UK and live in a 120 year old house with 12” thick solid brick walls. I can just about get a signal at where I need it already but it regularly drops out, so it is far from reliable. I think an AP outside on the back wall of the house will likely do the job well...

    WiFi AP with Mesh Setup?

    Thanks. I don’t need point to point - there won’t be power at the other end anyway.

    WiFi AP with Mesh Setup?

    Hi all. I have an Asus AI mesh setup at home which works well. We are going to be building a small structure at the end of our garden (about 30m from the house) and as Asus don’t do an outdoor Mesh node I’d like an outdoor access point to serve this building. I just wanted to check if an AP...

    Can I use all my ASUS mech devices with an Ethernet non ASUS router?

    Awesome, thanks. Can the 2 mesh node connect via the non-Mesh router? Or do they have to connect direct to the Access Point ASUS unit? With only one 2.5Gbe port on each ASUS unit I won’t be able to get 2.5Gbe to the nodes if it has to go direct from the ASUS AP. PS. I know I won’t get much...

    Can I use all my ASUS mech devices with an Ethernet non ASUS router?

    Hi. I have three AX ASUS mesh units with an AX86U working as the router with the other two connecting to it, currently wirelessly, to create a mech network. I want to install Ethernet and ideally use a wired non-WiFi router which supports 2.5Gbe. Would I still be able to use my ASUS routers...

    AX86U range compared to my old AC87U

    Ok - So I bought a AX86U and thought I'd update here in case anyone else searches for this in the future. I only have 220Mbps internet and my AC87U maxed this out pretty much throughout the house. In my garden about 5m from the rear door, speeds dropped to 25Mbps. At the end of my garden...

    Ethernet Aggregation with AX88U and 2014 Mac Mini Server?

    I'm considering a AX86U mainly because of the 2.5g ethernet. However, I may consider a AX88U but this does not have 2.5g ethernet. It does however have Ethernet Aggregation. I've never used anything with this before. My Mac Mini server has two ethernet ports (one via USB) and the OS allows me to...

    AX86U range compared to my old AC87U

    Hi All. Will the range of a AX86U be as good as or better than my AC87U? I've had my AC87U For many many years and it has been great. The key reason for buying it was the range. I live in a 100year+ old house with solid walls which really challenges wifi signals. I'm considering a AX86U but I'm...

    Rename RP-AC52 Airplay Receiver

    The audio out on the RP-AC52 is airplay compatible which is great, but the device name is like "RP-AC52(12:AB:34:CD:56:EF" - i.e. the device name and the MAC in brackets with the missing close bracket on the end. Is there any way to rename this please? Would be great if I could call it...

    Changing Airplay Name on an RP-AC52

    Hi all - my first post here, but certainly not my first time on the site. I've previously found info on here extremely helpful to the point that I recently had over 100 faultless days uptime on my Asus RT-AC87U. However, after searching, I can find nothing which covers the following query. In...
