I'll give that a try - thanks.

I have 3 routers: Main router: RT-AC86U Mesh: RT-AC66U B1 Mesh: RT-AX1800S They are set up in a straight line - so the 66U is BETWEEN then 86U and 1800S. but the 1800S always connects to the 86U (and with a "weak" signal) instead of the 66U, which is 1/2-way in between (and connected to the...

I have this problem on a RT-AC86U - as far as I know, it's a NON pro model - but how can I tell?

Thanks heysoundude.

Thanks - yeah - I hear you. :) But aren't "repeaters" and "extenders" really different than a mesh? Those double the ping time because they "repeat"? Where a mesh sends the data back via a separate mode (the other wifi radio frequency or the ethernet cable)? Thanks...

OK - so maybe I should RTFM - or search Google, forums, etc. I've set up dozens of wired and wireless networks over the past 2-3 decades (for myself and my friends/family) - so you'd THINK I might be aware of most of what makes a home network, work. However I only recently set up my first...

Thanks very much.

Bump for any help? Thanks so much...

Hi folks... I want to monitor my Spectrum internet connection at the modem/router interface. In other words, when I experience internet hiccups on my LAN, I'd like to know if it's the Spectrum internet (or modem) disconnecting/reconnecting, or is it the LAN having issues. Is there a log in...

Old thread - but, maybe you can orient the router antennas to force a higher or lower signal strength between the routers themselves? Like set the dipoles antennas 90 degrees to each other - certain router antennas (ALL of the antennas on a given router) placed vertically, and other router...

Steve, Thanks for that. My original connection, from modem/router/moca to the PC, went all the way across the house and back (175 feet?), and went thru at least 2 splitters, a 2-way and a 3-way...so kinda weird that even with that, the signal was too strong...but, too strong a signal was...

Hi guys...just wanted to add my 2 cents, as I had a "slow moca" connection and finally figured out my problem, which really surprised me, so I wanted to add it to the "knowledge base". I bought a Motorola/Arris SBG6782-AC with built-in moca. I was having a bit of a wireless connection problem...
