[SOLVED] Connecting fiber TV using AiMesh

[linardiedrick]

I’m currently using a coaxial cable connection, but I’m planning to switch that to a fiber connection. I use a RT-AC86U as my router, and I plan to buy another one for AiMesh.

The fiber line out is in my living room, and the STB for the fiber TV will be in my bedroom. The STB uses an Ethernet cable to connect from the fiber router provided by my new provider.

Question is, can I connect the STB and the fiber router using AiMesh? The setup will probably look like this :
Fiber router —> RT-AC86U in living room ———————> RT-AC86U in bedroom —> TV STB
Note : —> = connected using ethernet cable

If it won’t work, I think I’ll scrap the AiMesh idea and just buy a Powerline set.

Fiber ends at your router / ONT. From there, everything else is Ethernet / WiFi.

AiMesh is WiFi system, and don't think cable TV will go over WiFi, you should check this with your TV provider.
