As the title says, I want to extend my 1.5 GB Fiber wiress internet from Asus AX-86U (already purchased) to ASUS GT-AX6000 (thinking of purchasing).
Challenge: Asus AX-86U only has as a single multigig/2.5 GB port which will be occupied by the fiber optic internet line coming into my house - this then leaves a single1 GB Ports, and if I use only one of these ports and run them to the GT-AX6000 I will only be extending 1 GB wireless internet to the rest of my house. I am therefore wondering if it's possible to extend two LANs from the ethernet of ASUS-AX86U to the 2 1 GB lan ports of ASUS GT-AX6000 so that I can extend the 1.5 GB ethernet to the AX6000....preference is that the fiber optic lines goes into my AX-86U router, for various reasons. I read some posts here but I was not sure if it applied to my case, but this poster said it failed for them? https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax86u-lan-link-aggregation-doesnt-seem-to-be-working.77664/
Below is a diagram of what I want to do, and if it is not possible, are there other solutions? Purchasing a different router than GT-AX6000 or buying a switch or something of that sort? Thank you
