    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi all! Wanted to say that (while I haven't gotten to do the wiring yet) just the fact that I lowered the TX power seems to have stabilized the network so far (haven't had any more disconnects / hang-ups). So what I'm saying is THANK YOU ALL for your input on my issue: you saved me quite a...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Well, through a hole - but it's not wide enough for me to route my ethernet through it, plus I'd have to go back inside into two more rooms, where it's problematic. So I'd need a total of three holes.

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    @degrub - not sure what you're asking. My ISP is Digi, in Romania, and they have a 10Gbps fiber offering. The fiber is routed underground, and they have distribution nodes every few houses. @tiddlywink - my issue with holes in walls is that it's an older building and part of the plaster could...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi @degrub - I'm actually thinking of going simple: outdoor rated S/FTP cable (-20ºC - 75ºC, UV resistant, braided and foil shielding) that I would set either under the windowsills or some eaves (so not very exposed to the elements). To avoid piercing the walls, I'll go through the plastic part...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi @degrub! Re/ 10Gbps ethernet - the idea was that I'm getting 10Gbps from the provider, so why not plug it into a 10Gbps port on my main router (I was mentioning I'm thinking of getting one more main that would go in the media room (I'm looking at the GT-AXE16000 - would it play nice with the...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi @degrub - thank you for the detailed info, I'm learning lots of new stuff - love the welcome in this community! The ONT is connected to (what I think is) a modem, or at least not a "full" router: it's a tiny box that only provides a 10Gb ethernet. Would there be any advantage to using coax...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi @cristian.vasile - the ONT will need to stay in the living room (where the blue arrow is shown), I realized I can't move it, unfortunately. The main router will sit in the media room (blue, marked as "10G WAN"). The one in yellow will be the IoT AP (lower spec, and I'll install it only if my...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    @degrub - thank you for the Airport Utility tip! I turned the TX power down to "good" (from "performance", the max). Right now I only have the living room, bedroom and office APs powered (as per the original schematic) and I did a scan at the furthest point from all three (bathroom, side closer...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi all! First off, thank you all for taking the time to read my short novel and reply, it's much appreciated! @tiddlywink - it never even crossed my mind that mixing same brand models or even going as far as WiFi chips had any influence. In my mind, it was "hey, they're made by the same brand...

    Move away from ASUS Routers / Mesh

    Hi all! I'm having issues with my ASUS mesh system (and previous ASUS router), so I'm thinking of switching brands entirely. I tested tons of different settings (many off of this forum), but couldn't find a way to make the system stable. It would work impeccably for maybe a few months, then...
