How are they crippled? You're saying the AX86S is crippled and nearly obsolete, but the AX68U isn't?

This router is only used to plug a VoIP phone into, which connects wirelessly (set to media bridge) to an RT-AC86U. When the router was turned on today (it's turned off nightly), the VoIP phone had no signal, and the router gives a series of blinking lights: All the lights flash on for a...

Thanks. Strange that the ATT installer unhooked the grounds from Xfinity, but people do odd things. Any idea why there are two grounds? Or two coax cables (and a third possible coax - the black one), from that box to the house? You mention tracing the blue cables. Why do you think I need those...

As mentioned, I won't be using fiber and would like to remove anything related to it.

FYI I haven't moved into the house yet, so am having to do things and learn more in bits as I go over there, so I'm sorry about not having more details initially. I finally had a chance to look inside the Xfinity box outside. It has black coax cables coming in from the ground, connected to two...

You gave a lot of information (and I appreciate it), but no. At least not addressing all (and not expecting it). And since many had to be guesses, I thought me adding more information would help. Please disregard me tagging you in my reply and thanks again.

@drinkingbird @CaptainSTX Thanks a LOT for taking time to read through and respond. After reading the replies, looks like there are more (and complex) possibilities of wiring scenarios than I thought. I *have* read through them a couple times, but am trying to make sense of it all. I removed...

Unfortunately their cable enters at either end of the home, so I don't have the option of having the router in the middle.

Thank you. When I posted, I had no idea what speed they had and it took some work to get that info from my mom.

Sorry, I should have mentioned the RT-N66 wouldn't be used.

Sorry for the delay. They only have a 75 mbps plan.

Forum would only let me attach 5 photos. Here are the rest.

I just bought a preowned house that has a structured media panel, which I've never had, and am trying to figure out what all the previous owners have going on with it and what I need to do to get it right. Seems the previous owner had AT&T fiber, and I plan to carry over my Xfinity cable...

My parents have a ranch style home with an RT-N66U at one end, and a TP Link TL-WA855RE (300mbs) extender in the middle. I'm trying to figure out the best way to improve performance. I have an extra Asus RT-AC68U. Should I buy another AC86 and connect as mesh? I also have a Google Wi-Fi 3-piece...

Yes, client names. Under "clients", when you click "view list", the names under client names is often cryptic, so it's helpful to rename them once you figure out what they are.
