Hello,
I need an advice please.
I have a setup like this:
Modem (fibre internet) -> Router (Asus RT-AC68U) -> switch (Netgear GS605) -> all LAN devices
+ TV and Xbox360 connected wirelessly to RT-AC68U.
No other devices are connected via Ethernet cables to RT-AC68U.
Please see the picture (line represents an Ethernet cable)
The Wi-Fi signal from RT-AC68U is very weak for my TV and Xbox360 unfortunately and I wanted to connect them via Ethernet cables.
To avoid pulling 2 cables and to be a little bit future proof, I thought I'll install a switch close to my TV and Xbox. But I also want to improve the Wi-Fi signal close to TV and Xbox so I'm looking for a device which does the job of switch and Access Point (I think).
I have three questions:
1. Can someone recommend a device (preferably Asus and preferably the device with minimum features I need) which can do this job please?
2. Should I connect this device to RT-AC68U or GS605 or any of those will work?
3. Do I understand correctly, that AP gets connection via Ethernet and distributes it via Wi-Fi using the settings from the main router so the Wi-Fi devices can seamlessly switch connection between AP and main router?
Imagine walking around the house with mobile phone...
Any answer would be highly appreciated.
Thank you guys.
