    Question/opinion on multiple routers, using as a switch...

    I was just looking for real world experience on router performance, wifi coverage included.

    Question/opinion on multiple routers, using as a switch...

    Anyone? Should I swap out the ax55 for the ax88u? Meanwhile, picked up a 4 port Netgear, then the wife found a gs308 on sale, so got that too.

    Question/opinion on multiple routers, using as a switch...

    I can see the overwhelming opinion so far :) So, main router has the 2 other routers wired, an odroid home assistant unit, and a syno 1019+ Nas wired to it. The ax55, living room, actually has a switch off of it, with an ipcam, Samsung tv, Roku, Yamaha amp, blu-ray player, lorex nvr security...

    You're right from the technical standpoint. However, I have all the hardware, and it will lend itself to let me test things, try things, learn things, etc.

    Question/opinion on multiple routers, using as a switch...

    Here's my setup, and it currently works well for me, as far as I can tell. All Asus routers. AImesh routers, all 3 of them. Wired connect to each router, from the main router. All 3 used routers are freshly updated to latest ASUS software. GT-AX11000. Main router, in middle of the house...

    Range tests on a GT-AC5300 vs a AX3000...

    So this ax3000 I just picked up is not the best in relation to it's pricing?

    Range tests on a GT-AC5300 vs a AX3000...

    Agreed on the real world test. Right now those 2 give me the range in my own house, I was wondering if anyone had done an actual range test, as in clear distance point to point. You are right on testing in-place.

    Range tests on a GT-AC5300 vs a AX3000...

    Anyone seen any tests like this anywhere? I've searched the forums, googled quite a bit, no joy. I'm trying to decide if the ac5300 would cover more house (quite a few walls) than the ax3000. Central location. No wifi 6 needed, only a single router. And, only between these 2 routers. Thanks!

    GT-AC 5300 backup

    To my surprise, Asus released firmware for the GT-AC5300... it's 386_41793. I updated mine last night.

    Question on browsing in to a remote router.

    Great point, thanks. I could see myself not doing that, then trying to figure out why I couldn't get in. Thanks, cap.
