For all of you ASUS Guru's & Die-Hards On These Forums...
After tons of reading and asking questions, I'm going to be purchasing the following products:
- ASUS RT-AC68U
- ASUS RT-N66U
The ASUS RT-AC68U will be centered over my home in the attic and will be the primary source of Wi-Fi for my home. I plan on putting it in 'AP-only' mode and will be connected via Cat6 to my SonicWALL TZ210, which is my Router/Firewall (I will be disabling the current 'Draft N' mode WiFi that I currently have running on the SonicWALL).
The ASUS RT-N66U will be placed in my Garage Office and I plan on also putting it in 'AP-only' mode. It will be connected via Cat6 to my Gigabit RJ-45 drop in the Garage Office, that runs and terminates to my SonicWALL Router/Firewall.
With this one however, I will have a few devices, hard-wired directly into the ASUS RT-N66U Gigabit switch.
I also plan on running Merlin's custom FW on both of them (or at least I think he has FW for the N66U).
I'm hoping that by both devices being in 'AP-only mode', ALL devices connected to either of these two devices (hard-wired or via WiFi) will be assigned DHCP Addresses from my SonicWALL.
Given this setup, does anyone have any recommendations, whether it has to do with putting them in 'AP-only' mode or etc?
Thank you!!
