Hi there - pls help me
I am running R7000 for a couple years and I have generally been satisfied with it. Got it during the Walmart pricing mistake on BF (2015?) for 90 bucks. Yay!
I use stock firmware
Have PS3 for awhile in basement and this Xmas got Xbox One S for kids too. Now I see that it takes all day for Xbox to load a newly purchased game and so my project is to speed up connection (increase download speed)
I have had Linksys E3000 in the basement on Tomato acting as Client Bridge for the PS3 for a few years and it is OK but now flakey.
I just bought Zyxel Powerline Adapters thinking that I could get an "Ethernet" link straight to the Xbox and PS3 but I now see that the upstairs and basement are on different sides of the circuit breaker panel so they don't work together. So need to return that!
Now thinking of making upgraded Wireless Bridge and calling it a day. SHOULD I GET A SECOND R7000 or maybe R6400 and is that best for Netgear to Netgear client bridge? Thinking that it might be better than mixing Asus and Netgear. And then I hook Cat6 cables from that second Netgear onto the PS3 and Xbox. I assume this will be much faster than using E3000 and old Tomato software for same purpose and worth the $100 or whatever to buy a second router.
Or "upgrade" my current R7000 (to what?) and take current R7000 downstairs to use as the wireless bridge?
Help? Thanks
