Rt-ac66u

Can the Asus RT-AC66U be set up as a repeater? if so how?

Thank you in advance!

Repeater Mode is actually not available on the RT-AC66U.

This is something that Asus might add in the future.

Thank you Merlin. I appreciate it. I wish it had repeater mode. I would use my Cisco Router and the Asus as the repeater. This would be an awesome combination.

Merlin, do you have a link for donations?

Thanks man!

RT AC66U can be setup as a repeater

I have read that you can use 2 AC66U routers and set one up as a secondary repeater.. problem is I am trying to do so and it's not working for me

there is a link which explains how to do this as well... maybe you should try and if it works for you explain to me what I am doing wrong ;-)

here is the link:

You can also look at using either MoCA or powerline networking to set up a hard connection without having to lay cable to connect an access point (AP) to your main router. That way you don't lose 1/2 your wireless bandwidth like you with a repeater setup.

On the other hand, powerline networking is more open to noise on the power lines than MoCA, MoCA just uses the cable TV cables in your wall to transmit ethernet signals. The problem with MoCA is that it may be very difficult with satellite TV. For me MoCA was plug and play, but I have regular broadband cable.
