    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    You could also do it differend but this system does not always work It’s called power line adapters So you connect 1 to the router and the other to a switch or pc It runs over your power lines in your house So no trouble with cables Problems ? The distance is limited based on your power grid...

    I do this all the time Only difference is that I want my router to block everything instead using it as a switch... Anyway On router A you use dmz to fixed ip on router B Router B need to be configured with 2 routing settings First is the ip range of router A. Else he won’t find it Second for...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    You need to see it this way You got x power output and devices also got x power If they can’t reach each other then they won’t communicate. Easy as that I got a WiFi antenna that got 91 dBi Most antennas got 6 dbi So I should have full speed all the time It does improve the range a bit. But...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    I just installed the amplifi And I got now internet in my garage The internet speed is also fine But iT use 2 hops so iT suffer a little bit ( 2.4 GHz also ) You first need to link them and then you can place them where you like Also configure the hops to 2.4 GHz for more range Ofcourse try...

    RT-AC66U keeps losing internet where do i start

    Ok that is perfect Now asus got also a 192.168.0.x ip. That’s the ip you need to forward everything to from the netgear. You can see that ip in the client list on the netgear Then everything is fine and the asus can be setup like you want :) Greets from PowerChaos Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    This depends on your budget A mesh are just some acces points and kinda like a repeater So with the amplifi hd you install basicly 3 routers on 3 differend places and you gain 3x as mutch coverage So if you want stable and fast I would use that amplifi. But if you just want internet everywhere...

    RT-AC66U keeps losing internet where do i start

    Ok it stays the same Just make sure you use a differend subnet. And assign a static ip So you know where to forward all the incoming traffic to I know it is easy to explain on paper. But if you know a little then I am sure you can get it working This is the setup in short You connect the...

    RT-AC66U keeps losing internet where do i start

    Well You can easy set it up First you got your carrier modem ( I do not work with dsl but I guess it is the same) On that carrier modem you plugin the wan port of the netgear So now you have netgear->modem->internet Where netgear get a ip from the modem ( if router ) or so netgear can dial in (...

    RT-AC66U keeps losing internet where do i start

    You can solve iT differend You say the netgear works good Then why not use the netgear as main hub ? And put asus behind it and dmz to the asus ? So asus is still your main but does not need to dial in If that works stable then the dial function gives the trouble ( see post above. Providers...

    Mesh Networking - OnHub, Google Wifi or Amplifi HD?

    Dbi is transmission power and antenna size So how more power how stronger the signal But the signal need to go both ways So in short How more dbi how better the sending/receiving See it like a radio. A large antenna and no antenna. What gives best signal Also keep in mind that using 5 dbi...

    Mesh Networking - OnHub, Google Wifi or Amplifi HD?

    It depends on the antennas. 12 x 3 dbi or 6 x 5 dbi 5 dbi will win as it got less interference then the 3 dbi ( even when it is more xd ) and is stronger But that's so far my suggestion goes as I got no exp with those models Greets from PowerChaos Greets from PowerChaos Verzonden vanaf...

    Lan to Lan Different Ip's

    If you want both networks to be available you need to use a differend subnet mask (255.255.224.0 or so ) that you can calculate online And it is possible you manual need to insert the ip addresses in the routing table so they can communicate Mainly the subnet will do the trick but it depends...
