    Repeater Mode Difficulties on AC68U

    Hi there, I jumped on the TM AC1900 bandwagon around Black Friday time, and finally had some time last weekend to reflash back to AC68U and upgraded to Merlin. The experience had been overall positive. Still, a couple issues linger after my best attempt to google up networking terms and making...

    [projects] - Espressif ESP8266 AP/Mesh Wifi Repeater/AP

    Fun little project - the ESP modules are fairly affordable, and well supported. @thiggins - not sure it this should be here, or over in the smarthome sub-forum, but since this is WiFi, this is as good a place as any since we don't have a hobby oriented single board device subforum for things...

    TP-Link repeaters wastes 715 MB/month on NTP

    If you’ve got a recent model TP-Link repeater (not routers!) on your network, you may want to look more closely into its NTP related traffic.

    Is there anyway to get my repeater to use a different channel?

    My repeater is using the same channel as the main router and so is my Roku4 (which is another story /me shakes fist), but since I can't convince the Roku4 to not be stupid, can I change the channel that the repeater uses? I don't see it in the web settings.

    Is mesh a good choice if the number one priority is stability?

    Typical use case of the home Wi-Fi: a) Speed (bandwidth) is not important, as long as something above 40 Mbps (or 5 MB/s) can be maintained; b) Online gaming: consistently low latency is very important, and intermittent droppings of packages cannot be tolerated; c) Video calls: it is not...

    Can I use an RT-AC66U as a wireless repeater?

    I have an RT-AC66U, Windows 8. I recently changed apartments and the guy upstairs is willing to share his Internet connection. Since our work patterns are different, this seems a great way to save costs. The signal from upstairs is too weak to penetrate our entire apartment. It seem I ought to...

    Networking and connecting 2 homes

    Hello all, My knowledge of networking is quite minimal. Reading through many forums and articles, I still remain mostly unsure about which setup to purchase. 1. Cost is not a limiting factor but hope to be reasonable. 2. Range should about 50 feet, connecting 2 townhouses separated by 1...

    WiFi extender: is there one that uses 2.4Ghz for both input and output?

    I used to think that the best WiFi extender would use 2.4GHz for the router connection (backhaul) and 5 GHz for talking to my devices. But, not all devices talk 5Ghz and, of course, range can be an issue. So, it now seems to me that an extender that can connect to the router (backhaul) on one...
