Part of my house gets little to no wi-fi and I want to get that covered properly. So, I have an Asus AX-86U router and was thinking about getting a newer BE one and making the old one the AP/mesh/whatever. I’m going to run a cable to the bad part of the house and I also want to be able to use the old router like a switch (it’ll be by the TV and consoles). What’s the best way to set that up?


I have a Wifi 7 BE19000 and its not for the wifi. It’s for the 10gig wan and 10gig lan ports.
I wish I could afford anything with 10gig lan. Even the switches are too pricy. Shit, the only internet I can afford is like 50 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up.
My place doesn’t have ethernet in the walls, and I can’t even add conduit so I have a bunch of wires taped to the walls.
Sonic just came to my neighborhood a few months back so we have 10gig for $60 a month. I was waiting yeaaaars for them to come and they finally did!
