    Wi-Fi System Roundup

    sorry but thats just not even close to being correct , as fast lane removes one transmission source to use as the backhaul plus the backhaul isnt dedicated on the main router

    Wi-Fi System Roundup

    just for info i have an orbi router and sat separated by a plaster board wall and about 40 feet and still get close to max backhaul sync

    Wi-Fi System Roundup

    but for the majority thats just about all they have these days along with a few IoT devices i can understand the need to test these devices the moment they come out but the manufactures should know this and ensure at least some form of QA and perhaps beta testing before they release to the...

    ASUS EA-AC87 AC1800 cant find my Router

    yes set your router to ch 44 for 5 gig the 2.4 gig doesnt matter what ch you use also dont use wps mode as i found it didnt work so well , access its gui and do the setup from within the interface eg set to media bridge mode and select the 5 gig transmission from the main router

    Wi-Fi System Roundup

    if you can run ethernet it always has been and always be the best course of action see tims post from quite a few years back https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basics/wireless-basics/31576-the-best-way-to-get-whole-house-wireless-coverage and my own below Extending your LAN / WLAN...

    Wi-Fi System Roundup

    its not , mesh / dw are not a replacement for the standard router / ap setup where structured ethernet is in place mesh / dw is an improvement on what a single big honking router can achieve wifi coverage wise then you gain nothing even thinking of moving from this setup to the mesh/dw...

    Wi-Fi System Roundup

    hi tim i assume the rbk50 system that wasnt tested would be at the top of that list , do you not have the rbk50 anymore or why did you choose to leave it out , its not really evedent as to why from the review

    R7800 - why no Auto option for 5Ghz channel ?

    again auto is problematic with or without dfs , if you have no choice use ch 44 and dont use auto

    Asus Lyra wifi mesh system- Band selection criteria? Signal strength over speed, or???

    we may have to wait and see once its released , i have a feeling how the backhaul works and interacts with the nodes is different from others

    Good Wifi Range extender

    i will help you https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basics/wireless-basics/30338-how-to-convert-a-wireless-router-into-an-access-point bridge is a different matter and tbh not worth bothering about

    Asus Lyra wifi mesh system- Band selection criteria? Signal strength over speed, or???

    the way the antennas between the nodes seem to work with the lyra also suggest its quite different to the other mesh systems available see the smart antenna section of the product page https://www.asus.com/au/Networking/Lyra/

    R7800 - why no Auto option for 5Ghz channel ?

    why would you want them ? auto is the worst selection for any wifi , its always best to select a ch to use for both bands , this avoids connection issues with clients as well

    media bridge routing

    you understand what a media bridge is , its basically a replacement for a long ethernet run , once you set a router to media bridge mode its basically a wireless adapter that you can connect wired clients to and pretty much nothing else as the router function for the most part have been bypassed

    RT-AC3100 5GHz Problems

    ok get something like inssider or one of the wifi testing apps and have a look at what signals are around you , also what type of home phones do you have if any as some older ones also run on 5 gig , check for any other 5 gig transmissions around you like av senders etc

    RT-AC3100 5GHz Problems

    how are you reading this ? is your referring to the levels in inSSIDer and the like that signal level in rssi and the higher the negitive number the worse the signal is anything above -70 and you will start to see degregation in the signal quialty and throughput past -80 and your ether just...

    Need some expert advice on modem.

    blame that on your isp and perhaps not the modem , they have obviously set it up so you are forced to use their produce
