    Is it possible to combine two routers on seperate ONTs (or modems) into one subnet?

    Ahh so you cant merge them into one whole network with the same ssid and stuff. So if one ONT + router was on one floor and the other ONT + router was on another, for wireless devices, i would have to make a choice between one or the right? Like it wouldnt be able to combine the seperate routers...

    Is it possible to combine two routers on seperate ONTs (or modems) into one subnet?

    "There's also nothing to stop you from having two ISPs and two routers with the same SSID and subnet mask" If I chose to do this instead of the dual wan router option, how would i configure the two routers to act as one? Since each rather has its own wan, is it as simple as setting identical...

    Asus QoS Question

    So basically setting a device on the highest QoS setting yields no gain in speed and latency if its the only device online at the time when compared leaving the QoS off right?

    Asus QoS Question

    Asus' new routers now support a very intelligent QoS system. My question is: While we know QoS makes a big difference when multiple devices are using the internet at the same time, does it make a difference when there is only one device online? As in if I have my Xbox One or PC set to the...

    Is it possible to combine two routers on seperate ONTs (or modems) into one subnet?

    If I had two routers each connected to its own optical network terminal (or modem) (as in i have two seperate internet subscriptions i am paying for, one fibre line going into each ONT connected to each router), would it be possible to combine the two routers into the same subnet with the same...

    Asus RT-AC68U Access Point Mode Help

    1. When using the Asus RT-AC68U (or any Asus router) in access point mode, do you connect the ethernet cable coming from the main router into the wan port or the lan1 port of the router in access point mode? 2. In regards to the roaming assist option, do i enable it on both the ac68u main...

    Multi Storey Router Set Up

    Yea just hypothetical anyway, I guess if I were to really do this I would just give the two other routers different names and passwords altogether and have 3 saved wifi routers on all my wifi devices

    Multi Storey Router Set Up

    I have a feeling this is a dumb question but what if you were to just give the extention routers the same ssid, ssid password, ip address, etc. Basically make them identical copies of the main router? Would that do much?

    Multi Storey Router Set Up

    I should add that to maximize connectivity, i would be connecting the extention routers to main router (connected to the modem/dsl/ont) via ethernet cables, not wirelessly

    Multi Storey Router Set Up

    At the moment this is hypothetical but I still want to know. If you have a multi storey house and you want to set up multiple routers, say one on each floor, how would you set them up in way that makes them act as one router with a single ssid and ssid password. So for example you are having a...

    Can I use a switch instead of a router to connect wired only devices to the internet?

    So if i understand you guys correctly, a gigabit switch alone is simply not capable of distributing the network from the fibre optical network terminal (or cable/dsl modem for those without fibre) to the rest of the devices at home

    Can I use a switch instead of a router to connect wired only devices to the internet?

    So why do some people choose to connect their gaming devices to a gigabit switch instead of directly to the router itself? Gigabit switches are supposed to be great for gaming but if they cant be used as the main distributor of the fibre network, why do people use them in a home setting. Like i...

    Can I use a switch instead of a router to connect wired only devices to the internet?

    For those of you who have or are familiar with fibre home networks, you will know that the fibre cable goes to an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) which connects to a router that connects all your devices at home. My question is instead of using a router, since I will only be connecting my...
