First off, sorry this is a cross post. I accidentally posted this in the general wireless discussion section. Mods please feel free to remove it.
I recently picked up a RT-AC66U for the house and have a couple questions.
I have an old Netgear N300 router that I'd like to use as an access point on the far side of our house to increase coverage and signal strength.
I'm familiar with how to initially set up the Netgear as an AP, but am still unsure of a few things.
1. Can/should I can use the same 2.4GHz SSID name as the Asus?
2. How about channel setup? Asus 2.4GHz on 1, 5GHz on 11 and then the Netgear on 6?
3. Lastly, I have a small Sonos install which includes a Sonos Wireless Bridge. I remember reading something about Sonos operating at 54Mbps and that they recommend turning down the speed to 54Mbps or turning off "turbo" on wide-band routers. Can someone familiar with Sonos please give me some advice on how I should be setting up my network to avoid drop-outs or poor performance due to interference? Also, what channel should I choose for the bridge?
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.
Can't wait to get my hands on the new router. I've wanted one for quite some time now. I realize it's long in the tooth, but I'm sure it will suite us just fine.
thanks again!
