Hi all,
We really have terrible internet at home in the UK (1-1.5mb) but have discovered that we can use an unlimited data sim to get better internet. We have a Asus ac68u with stock firmware set in repeater mode but it’s simply not allowing us to connect to the net. Could anyone please advise - we’re really desperate to get this working after 15 years of terrible broadband!
This is the setup:
Phone as hotspot transmitting in 2.4ghz ——-> Asus in repeater mode (with wired connections) and WiFi connections, 2.4 and 5gHz.
Anything connected directly or the phone (name: hotspot) is working fine
Anything connected to router that is wired is fine
Anything connected to router WiFi (name: hotspot_rpt) is not working
Anything connected to router WiFi 5gHz (name: hotspot_rpt5) is not working.
I’ve followed the instructions exactly and various YouTube videos but it just seems broken. Once the Asus is in repeater mode, there’s just not a lot of parameters to change!
Can anyone please help or suggest a better way? The reason why we’re using a phone and not a 4g modem is because the network provider says that only a hotspot can provide access for other devices. We don’t want to break those terms and have to go back to 1mb internet!
