    Are newer power line adapters worth trying?

    MY sister-in-law has one room in her house that only gets 80 megabit on 5 GHz WIFI AC and even less on 2.4 GHz. Several years ago we tried a pair of Trendnet TPL_421E2K/A AV2 1200 adapters. The were even slower than WIFI and less stable. Is it worth trying a pair of AV2 2000 adapter?. Any...

    Gocoax WF-803M insertion loss?

    Does anyone know the loss between the Moca in and TV out port on the WF-803M. If the TV out port isn’t amplified my guess is at least 3.5 db. I am trying to determine why I am getting low signal levels at one of the adapters.

    Why port 8443 default?

    Reset my RT-AC66U_B1 and upgraded from 386.7_2 to 386.9 using Firefox. After upgrade I was unable to login using Firefox and IP address. I next tried Edge and login with IP address worked normally. After login found HTPPS port defaulted to 8443. Tried Firefox and IPaddress:8443 and it worked. I...

    While setting up aimesh I found that a smart switch blocks the wired connection between the node and the main router. Does this connection use a tagged VLAN? If it is using a tagged VLAN what is the VLAN ID/number? I did find that in another post that guest SSID apparently use IDs 501, 502...

    Does Aimesh work between RT-AC1900P and RT-AC66U B1?

    I am trying to set up Aimesh between a RT-AC1900P and RT-AC66U B1. Initially one was running Merlin firmware and one Stock. I upgraded them to latest available firmware (of each) but was unable to add an Aimesh node. I was also running the AC1900P “router/master” in router mode. Next, I tried...

    WDS or media bridge?

    I have a RT-1900P and a TM-AC1900. Currently they are set as WDS only on 5 GHz and AP only on 2.4 GHz with channel width set to 40 MHz. I get less than 30-megabit speed over the bridge. I suspect this is due to low 5GHz signal levels. I am going to try switching the bridge to 2.4 GHz (20 MHz...

    RT-AC56 5 GHz Media Bridge and 2.4Ghz as access point?

    When you select a wireless network in media bridge mode the radio for the other band is disabled. Is it possible to override this and use 5GHz as a bridge and 24GHz as an access point? This appears to be something that Asus should implement in their dual band products.
