I tried to use the router tool, but the drop down had 40 choices and i have no idea which to choose. I looked at the modems in order, but i dont no what mu-mimo is.
I am currently running an old Netgear wnr1000 v3. For what I paid 4 or 5 years ago, it has been great.
I am looking to upgrade across the board though. I will use the modem from my ISP, which is Windstream with DSL. It works well, so I am happy with them.
My goal is to run hardwires to my game room for the PS4s, and a hardwire to my Apple TV behind my primary TV. I will also use the DECA devices to run the Internet over my coax cables in my house since I have DirecTV. I have already tested and it worked well.
What I need help with:
I want a new router. It will have multiple phones, TVs, iPads, computers and a Roku or two on it. The PS4 will be hard wired right into the router.
I am running an Ethernet cord to my Apple TV, but wonder if I would be better off running the Ethernet cord to an access point behind the TV that I could hook the Apple TV into as well as one wire right in the TV. Who knows what else I may add up there.
In addition to that, I will run the internet through my coax cables to get better reception to my upstairs. I would like to plug an access point in upstairs using the coax outlet for internet.
What access point should I get? I need one that can hard wire and/or on that can hardwireand do wireless.
My dsl comes in on the Windstream modem, but the wireless on it has a very weak range so I have to put in a 2nd router and disable the wireless in the Windstream router.
My questions:
Do I put the access points in bridge mode or something like that? Is that the same for my 2nd router that is plugged directly into the modem?
What wireless router should I get? I was thinking of the Asus AC3200.
What should I get for access points?
I need a smaller access point or or will need to direct connect my Ethernet cord as there isn’t a ton of room behind the tv.
I would like the wireless to all be one around the entire house so that my device doesn’t have to jump from one wireless to another. Is that possible?
Thank you in advance for any advice or help.
