    Replace Asus AC1900/RT-AC68U with the same or upgrade?

    Thank you. I could do one now and use as main router. Someone told me to instead get a 3 point Eero mesh and connect to the asus as bridge and I would be better off. Thoughts?

    Replace Asus AC1900/RT-AC68U with the same or upgrade?

    Hi. About 3 years ago I got a pair of AC68U and set them as AiMesh. Main router is one end of the house upstairs, other on other end of house downstairs. Worked well for the most part, except upstairs right in the middle of the house where one signal would get weak but not transfer to other...

    Can lead-blocking paint affect WiFi and CellPhone signal?

    Hi and thanks for all the feedback. Yes the walls are plaster and lath (with no metal on that I have noticed). Don't know how many times lead paint might have been applied, but it's also an assumption that there is lead paint because of age of the house. Just to be extra conservative, I had...

    Can lead-blocking paint affect WiFi and CellPhone signal?

    Hi, About a year ago I created a thread about weak WiFI signal in my house bedrooms. I mentioned that my house being from 1940 likely head lead paint in them. Some opinions were provided and I tried a few things but nothing worked to increase signal in the bedrooms. This week as I laid in...

    Barely get wifi signal only 35ft away with ASUS RT-N66U

    I can detect many networks from neighbors with 2 and 3 bars. All homes are from 1940 and would have about same lead paint amount.

    Barely get wifi signal only 35ft away with ASUS RT-N66U

    Hi, I meant lead paint. Not metal on the wall. It's plaster and wood lath. Antenna are correct. I get very good speeds up to the dining room, but once passed dining room into the bedrooms drops big time. Weird thing is that ipad and iphone will show 1 and sometimes 2 bars of reception, but...

    Barely get wifi signal only 35ft away with ASUS RT-N66U

    Moved to new home a couple of weeks ago. Was initially running a Motorola WR850G and had weak signal in the bedrooms. So spent $160 for the ASUS RT-N6U based on the great reviews about it's reach. I had very little improvement. Router is in the living room only about 35 linear ft from bedroom...

    How do I know if I am accessing primary router or repeater?

    I have successfully setup an ASUS RT-N66U as primary router and a Motorola WR850G as a repeater. If both SSID are the same how can I tell which one my devices are accessing? I want to make sure the devices are flowing access from one to another depending on best signal. The repeater was setup...
