    Help with Network Layout for 2-story home

    Everything that you can connect with ethernet do so. That will eliminate a lot of throughput issues there and like me, you are lucky enough to have your house wired for ethernet. Even if your media boxes and/or Smart TVs only have 100 Megabit per second NICs in them. Hardwire them. Look for...

    What Replacement for my RT-AC66U

    I have the RT-AC68P as my main router and the RT-AC56U as my AP. The 68P and 68U are very similar and I would definitely recommend getting the 68 as a replacement w/ Merlin's FW.

    N66u setting up AP problems

    In your main router you need to create a static IP for your AP router and the connection between the two should be a LAN port of Main router to a LAN port of AP, not the WAN port. I have RT-AC68P as main router and RT-AC56U as AP connected to each other via ethernet cable and my setup works...

    Asus Networking Help Needed

    I would change the channels on your network like in the 2.4 ghz mode to 1, 6, and 11 if applicable to prevent radio saturation and use different SSIDs and passwords also for troubleshooting reasons and security issues. Clients these days remember that stuff pretty easily these days.

    slow xbox 360 download

    I had the same problem w/ my PS3 when I had it connected wireless. It would take almost 2 hours to d/l a 2 GB demo w/ a 50 Mb internet connection. I then used ethernet connection and now it takes like 20 minutes to d/l 2 GB demo. Go wired, it is more reliable.
