Synology web site is always a good place to start!

Migration is straight forward - rsync works really well. The gotcha with 218 is simple - only 2 drives are supported. While you can get the capacity by using larger drives, it would be very difficult to get performance out of that toy. 718 is a bit better because of CPU, but don’t expect much of...

Sounds like you may have an issue with DHCP pool size. I use AC88U and AX88U, but never experienced those issues. How big is your dynamic address pool?

That looks like a self assigned address. At some point RP wasn’t able to get an IP from DHCP server and self assigned 169 address. Why does it appear in your map? Who knows, but probably a bug in reporting.

Get ASUS update utility (or whatever it is called now).

RT-AC88U is the same as AC3100 recommended above, but with 8-port wired switch. Can’t go wrong with it...

Two devices are connected to the managed switch via wire. My router is pfSense box - many reasons for that with speed being most prominent (I could get a max of 520 Mbps out of a single 1Gbps connection, and I have dual feeds). Both ASUS devices are in AP mode.

Hi everyone, apologize if this has already been discussed elsewhere. My setup is as follows PfSense -> managed switch -> APs. I have ASUS ax88u and ac88u setup in AP mode to provide coverage. Everything works great, but I really wanted to mesh the SSIDs instead of using multiple roaming...

Mac is just your client. Please use a browser and follow installation instructions!

I have two SSIDs with separate names, but only one name for each band. The same names used on all AP’s.

My situation is somewhat similar, so this is what worked for me: 1. No band steering! Separate SSID for 2.5 and 5! 2. The same SSID names for all APs 3. Try to do a survey and place your APs in a way that provides the biggest dB drop for all, but the actual AP locates on a given floor (-70 dB...

+1 Also, for $700 I’d hire an electrician to run a wire. Can’t beat that!

I had the same issue a few revs back with 88U as well. Wound up resetting to factory and re-configuring the router from scratch. That fixed the problem for me...
