    limiting wireless coverage (adjust transmit power, move access points)

    Hi all: I'm a novice when it comes to networking (but as a chemist, I believe that I could learn enough to implement recommendations). Time spent on the broader internet has led me to the conclusion that most manufacturers and users only want stronger coverage. I want to move in the opposite...

    SSID Naming Protocol for Access Points?

    I have had problems reaching all parts of the house with a steady strong WiFi signal so I set up two Access Points using coax-MoCa connections. I have a number of wifi enabled devices connected (garage doors, cameras, TVs, speakers, watering system, phones, computers, ipads, alexa). I now get...

    Wanted some insight, to see if this setup would work!

    So, I currently have 2 routers. One is a Linksys and the other is an ASUS, I don't think models really make a difference in the scenario. Basically, I want to separate these routers entirely, but I want them to run off the same connection, with different IP's and devices connected would be...

    HELP: Mesh network through LAN?

    Hi All, I have been using pretty dated WiFi equipment but don't really mind, as I have the house wired via LAN. This means I have 3 areas of the house where I have access points all being fed through the same base router. All Wifi networks have the same name to keep things standard. Here's...

    Asus RT-AC3100 2.4 WiFi down... use a second router for 2.4?

    Main question: Given my below situation, is it best to use a second router connected to the main router via ethernet as the 2.4 GHz access point? Rationale: The RT-AC3100 is not the cheapest (or most expensive) router, so replacing it is not preferred. The 5 GHz and ethernet connections...

    New Router with Removable Antennae

    I'm interested in using a modern Netgear router (preferably just to keep things simple with other routers I'm using, or I'm open to something else) to replace an old Linksys WRT54G I use with a bespoke wireless antenna (an old DBS satellite dish) I made years ago as a wireless extender across a...

    Get MAC Adresses connected to Access Point

    Hi, I'm currently writing a script to check the MAC presence on the network. However, I'm running into issues because I have an access point and the devices connected to the access point do not directly show up in the main router. Is there a way to retreive the MAC addresses that are currently...

    Why AIMesh? What am I missing?

    For years I ran two WL-520gu routers running tomato. The second one was setup as an access point and using hardwire backhaul to the main router. I set them both up with the same SSID/password/security. I was able to move around my house switching seamlessly and transparently between routers. I...

    Roaming between native wifi and wired access point

    This is a naive question but one that I haven't seen discussed; I doubt it is unique to Asus routers (I've observed the same phenomenon with other routers), and I'm surprised more people don't comment on it. My setup is this: I have an Asus AC-68U router running Asus Merlin. In addition to...

As you may know, the RT-AC87U does not have a repeater mode, unlike other Asus routers. *RT-AC87U only has 3 operation modes; Wireless...
