Need assistance with upgrading your home Wi-Fi network? Let me help you with the best solutions and tips!
Hello, I see you're experiencing some challenges with your home Wi-Fi setup. You have two routers—an Asus AC87U (about four years old) and a newer Asus AC51U. The main router isn’t providing consistent coverage across your house, especially in the yard and certain rooms. You mentioned signal strength drops, random reconnections, and poor performance in specific areas like the southwest room and near walls.
You’re considering upgrading to something more advanced like Asus AiMesh or a third router with better range. It sounds like you might benefit from a mesh network system that can extend coverage evenly. Alternatively, a professional installation could help ensure optimal placement and stability. If you have multiple devices connecting simultaneously, a higher-speed plan or a dedicated access point might also improve performance. Let me know if you'd like more detailed advice on any of these options!
You're experiencing issues with multiple routers using different SSIDs, leading to unnecessary complexity and possible double-NATing. Switching to a mesh network with a few satellite units could simplify things. The TP-Link X20 system offers flexibility, with three units that can be positioned anywhere for around $250.
