    Is this AC3100 dead?

    Talked with seller (from facebook marketplace) and they've agreed to take it back as it's not working. I'll likely just do that. Didn't know if I could force a reset with a particular button pushing/holding, or if I could force a firmware load from USB somehow. Just couldn't find any way to...

    Is this AC3100 dead?

    Would if I could, but purchased second hand. Very well could be why they were selling it (claimed no longer needed as internet provider gave them modem/router to use). Have contacted Asus support, we'll see where that goes (by e-mail, do they have support chat available?). Yes to poster above...

    Is this AC3100 dead?

    Purchased a used Asus AC3100 - can't get it to do anything, really. Plug in and turn on, the front WAN light (4th from the left on top) turns on for a second or two, then goes off and only power light (1st on left on top) turns on solid. That's the only light on no matter what buttons I push...

    Wireless VPN issues on ac-68u

    My wife works from home, via VPN (Cisco Anyconnect I believe). I recently purchased two t mobile 1900s and changed the firmware making them ac-68us - one main (in the office where she works) and the other as an aimesh node in the basement. When attempting to connect to her work VPN wirelessly...

    Cisco Anyconnect VPN Stability on RT-AC68U

    Having this issue on my wife's work computer which connects via VPN. I recently purchased two t mobile 1900s and did the trick to turn them into ac68u units - and running them as an aimesh deal. Seems to only affect her wirelessly - as wired is fine. Will try some of the things mentioned here...

    Which router to suggest as Christmas present?

    Would you mind breaking down that first sentence a bit? My first thought was going to be a power line adapter to connect the two locations (and hopefully have wifi at each which should cover all of the house). The basement had previously been a separate unit, and thus had it's own sub...

    AC Routeur<=>AC Bridge ?

    I'm considering a similar setup between asus routers, using one as a media bridge. Would the ac66u to ac66u allow for a further distance between them than a pair of n66us? Would a pair of ac68us allow for even further distance between them? I'm trying to get a pair to connect between 2 floors...

    Which router to suggest as Christmas present?

    Thanks for the reply! Range is very important to me, so I was leaning toward the asus models with the biggest range claims (not sure if they are accurate). I've been looking into power line adapters as well, but the basement in my house is powered by a separate breaker box (a sub box) than...

    Which router to suggest as Christmas present?

    Wife wants to know what I would like for Christmas, thinking about a new router for our new house. I currently have a dlink 655, which I've had since they first came out. It was fine for our previous place, but it doesn't quite cut it at our new ~3,500 sq. ft. home (3 floors). Biggest issue...

    Wifi for older 7,000 sq. ft. home

    I'd love to, but it looks like the phone system and something else (possibly heating/cooling system) are both using the 110 blocks. That's why I was thinking of just connecting the DSL modem and a router directly from the 110 block in the utility room, and then plugging the cat 5 lines from the...

    Wifi for older 7,000 sq. ft. home

    Oh, ok - thanks for that! Since all cat 5 plug locations in the house are very near an outlet I'm not sure that will be needed (extra cost and complexity that I haven't dealt with before). The main phone line (and only phone line) runs into the house and directly into a 110 type punch...

    Wifi for older 7,000 sq. ft. home

    Given the complexity, we'll just say that seamless roaming isn't needed. Also, for PoE, that just means that I wouldn't have to plug the APs into a wall socket at each location? What if each cat 5 plug in the house has a wall socket within a few feet of it which is easily accessible? Is...

    Wifi for older 7,000 sq. ft. home

    I think I got about 70% of what you said there, so I'll need to do some homework on my end for the rest. Why use a non-wireless router (and a 5th AP, and a switch....) rather than just a wireless router and 4 APs? What happens if someone is connected to one AP and is walking through the...

    Wifi for older 7,000 sq. ft. home

    I've been given the task of setting up a wifi network for an older roughly 7,000 sq. ft. house. It has extremely think stone walls in many places, so using only one device will not suffice. The house will have about 15 people staying it in at the end of June, so I've got some time - and the...
