I am seeking an upgrade for my old Netgear C6300 router, it is pretty outdated in technology (DOCSIS 3.0 instead of 3.1) and on top of that it does not cover all my rooms, so I decided to go into Mesh. I have a pretty petty 3000 sq ft house.
I have read several threads here, and I see there are...
Hello, Im wondering if anyone can help me with my decade long battle with internet coverage. My biggest limitation is that cables are not allowed to be used across the house (It would make it look "shapeless", otherwise Id buy Access point).
I uploaded two images one of my current step up...
After struggling with connectivity issues requiring weekly reboots of my RBK963, I've given up. This 6/6E solution is hot garbage, and the only way I've been able to get any semblance of stability is to replace its routing/DNS/DHCP functionality with an OPNSense-based firewall and a Pihole and...
My apology if someone has the asked same or similar, but I was unable to locate the subject.
Someone who is SME, can you explain what these messages mean within Asus rt syslog and how should it be addressed, if at all?

The nodes are hardwired ethernet backhaul. The ethernet devices connected to the nodes are still online. It just shows the nodes as offline in the web gui.

I.e. i need to do some radio planning to get a nice thruput on some nodes.
Like this example where 4 had great signal from 3 as well as 6 sees 5 with great signal. 2,3,5 sees 1 with a nice signal.

I have my AX11000 set up as the main router and 2 x XT12 connected to it as nodes, + XT8 on another floor.
After my printer - one of the few 2.4 devices - would not connect to any of the nodes but rather to the main router only, I checked the available wireless networks and can see that neither...

Hi, I have an Asus GT-AX11000 running Merlin firmware that I love, but the signal strength is too weak on the opposite side of the downstairs of my duplex apartment.

When setting up e.g. a Camera 'outback' I get 3 or 4 MYOFFICE SSIDs and therefore do not know which router is closest to the camera ...
