    Looking to add wireless access point

    Fast forward a year and this is still a problem. I have my ATT box in the basement which will not accept a router. That is hooked up to numerous gigabit switches and a single wireless access point - an archer a7. I have three floors to my house - basement main and upstairs (~1300 sf each) and I...

    yah I don't have a ton of time to monkey around with this stuff so we'll probably just go back to collecting devices at bed time.

    Yah sorry I left that part out. I was hoping this would be an easier fix. So the ATT modem/router feeds to an 8-port switch which is connected to various rooms in the house (basement office (switch), theater (switch), family room (switch), main floor office (switch), pantry (where the access...

    every time I've tried that it conflicts with AT&T's machine so badly that I lose internet altogether.

    Parental Controls

    This is really annoying. I bought an Archer A7 because it was wirecutter's top pick for a home wifi router and bonus it has parental controls and can act as a wireless access point which is important because... I have AT&T (there are no other internet options for me). And with AT&T, you can...

    Mesh vs Access Points

    thanks tim - what's your opinion on relative performance? That TP-Link set has been on sale a couple times around $100 - am I going to see a measurable performance increase over the wired AP's that I described I have already?

    Mesh vs Access Points

    What is the current state of the argument for Mesh Wi-Fi vs WAP's? When I last checked in here a couple years ago, the vote was clearly in favor of Wireless Access Points. But the mesh wi-fi market continues to grow and mature - just seeing have we reached a point yet where mesh is a better...

The EA 6400 in the northwest corner of the basement, the Black Diamond centrally located in my Pantry and another Black Diamond located towards the northwest side of the house in my sons closet. All...

    Simple Wired Router?

    bought an EA6400 for $40 - That was one of the best rated for WAN to LAN throughput. Hoping U-Verse will turn on gigabit for my subdivision soon.

    Simple Wired Router?

    Does such a thing exist anymore? I have all of my network connections terminating in my basement and then everything runs to switches and / or wireless access points from there. I have far too many devices (and far too much house) to rely on one wireless router to work for everything. So is...

    Print Servers

    thanks for the tip. just as a comparison point - we don't notice the same delays when we're directly connected via USB.
