I recently installed a Netgear AC5000 router, R8300, Nighthawk X8. It changed everything! The 'beam forming multiple antennas have widened the Wi-Fi around the house and I'm getting 750bps WiFi speeds.

have this mesh system. Works great, looks good and is scalable. I have added one new mesh point in the garage, easy to do and very effective. No dropped signals. Arris router is connected to Cox

Dude! You got me all worked up. I was ready to watch whatever seminar I had to, and then I read...

"...Limit one free AP per organization and per individual.

By accepting the AP you represent that you are authorized by your employer to accept the AP and that you will disclose receipt of the AP to your employer as and if required...."

I work for a VERY large company where, I suspect, someone has either already done this, or if "they" ever found out, they'd probably be pretty grumpy.

I bought a google mesh for my house due to the weird layout and drop location for my network. My goal was to get much better coverage which it did but I would not recommend it. I've had too many issues with devices not connecting reliably and questionable tech support.

Damn networking geeks....I got nuthin' :)

RKDinOKC 01-13-2018 02:14 AM

Trying to save some ISP monies. Changing from a Cox business connection to a newly available (in my area) AT&T business connection. AT&T is $70 a month cheaper for the same speeds.

Where the cox modem just has one 1 gb ethernet port and I have my own routers and wifi routers, the AT&T modem is a 4 port ehternet and wifi router.

Did I just mess up my network?

Rtrorkt 01-13-2018 05:17 AM

just checked my amplifi system speed. Connected to Cox, 380 download, 32 upload

? Why would you have messed up your network? Just don't use or better yet, disable the ATT wifi. only use whatever Eth port you need on the ATT gear.

RKDinOKC 01-13-2018 05:33 AM

Derp on my part, that would make the most sense. Just use the AT&T Uverse box as a modem like am using the cable modem.
