    Networking Question - Cable Modem to Switch to Router?

    Hello Everyone, I have a networking question. What I had previously is Cable Modem to Router WAN and Router LAN to 16 Port Switch and the Router gave everyone on the network an IP. I'd like to move the Router to the center of the house (Pantry) but there is only 1 LAN Jack. Can I do the...

    [Blocking Wifi] - Townhome - Pre-Construction - InWall Aluminum Foil?

    Builders today go as cheap as possible as long as city inspectors accepts it. Some build codes are from 1990s lol If you only know the kind of things I'm yelling at the builder for.

    [Blocking Wifi] - Townhome - Pre-Construction - InWall Aluminum Foil?

    I have Roxul Safe-N-Sound in my current home between everywall and ceiling. Does nothing to attenuate the wifi signal. I'll have to wait for me to move in to meet my neighbours and see what I can do. I've already got CAT6 in every room and one at 5ft for every TV. I like having my TV's...

    [Blocking Wifi] - Townhome - Pre-Construction - InWall Aluminum Foil?

    I don't think blocking it 100% is possible. I was thinking of it would attenuate wifi signal from the neighbours.

    [Blocking Wifi] - Townhome - Pre-Construction - InWall Aluminum Foil?

    This is going to be an interesting one for you guys :) I purchased a townhome that is 5 houses sandwiched together, 2 floors of 1000sq.ft each for each unit. I'm a middle unit unfortunatly which means there is going to be a ton of overlap. The builder is making these houses "smart homes" so...

    Looking for Advice on Mesh with Ethernet Backhall on large property

    Thank you for the details and I've got some reading to do this weekend! I did ask for two local professional for installation location on wifi and both refused to give any recommendations as they needed to do tests once the house was completed... So I placed ethernet jacks in every room and a...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    Thank you. I already purchased 4x POE+ Injectors. I'm happy with 1000mbit internet bandwidth. I am honestly just annoyed that I will not be able to get more than 300mbits on wifi with the Cisco WPA581 AP setup. I will be putting 1x WPA581 in the center of each floor on the ceiling (Basement...

    Looking for Advice on Mesh with Ethernet Backhall on large property

    I had specified the builder use CAT 6 cable. I'll go to the house cut a little peice of and check if it's solid core. I was going to look for an ethernet cable test once they install jacks, I'll look to see if I can rent a Fluke tester. So if I want to upgrade over the WPA581 I should go for a...

    Looking for Advice on Mesh with Ethernet Backhall on large property

    Hey Everyone, I having 2nd thoughts on installing the 4x WPA581. The house is almost complete and I checked every corner on every floor with two laptops to find no 5Ghz signal to be found and very weak (-85db) and less on the 2.4Ghz bands. So I'm very lucky not having interference. The issue...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    The WAP581 doesn't need a Cisco switch to drive it. That is the mean reason i got it, I run it as a straight app. It should be able to run up to 16 configured WAP581 devices...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    Coxhaus = Tried that and no difference on my end. I got the Cisco SB-PWR-48V. Took out the Trendnet POE and connect the WPA581 directly to the modem on the same 1000port. Trying to keep things consistent and plugged in the Cisco Power Adapter... Doesn't seem to be a difference. The max speed...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    How do set the AX200 to use 802.11ac not 802.11ax? I already set the band to 5Ghz. I agree with you on the 1G but eventually I will have 4 x WPA581 devices. So hopefully everyone wouldn't connect to the same ap. I just went to the new house with both laptops running Netspot and Wifi...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    I have tried High and Medium with no difference. Latest version of the AX200 driver installed. When I get home I'll upload some photos of the network, signal strength, etc The Trendnet powersupply is version 2.0R I do want to run the WAP581 but I'm disapointed in the 5Ghz Range. I do not...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    So it looks like the issue is the WPA581 5Ghz signal strenght is garbage. Waiting to get the offical Cisco SB-PWR-48V Power Adapter and test again to confirm.

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    Sooo I just tested out the AX200 and WOW 554Mbps Down and 455Mbps UP on the Cisco BUT on the Arris I get 510Mbps down and 550Mbps up. Not sure why the Cisco doesn't go as fast on the upload side. Will continue testing and waiting for the Cisco power adapter and bypass the Trendnet and as the...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    I've tried both settings. I've even tried disabling the 2.4Ghz... The WAP581 is connecting directly from the AT&T BGW210. The AT&T extender isn't a solution for me as I need something to be in the ceiling and POE powered. My buddy lend me his laptop with WiFi Explorer Pro and I did some more...
