Re: Expand wireless signal from hotspot
 
Is android ethernet tethering routed or modem , I mean the android device itself has it got a modem IP or is it already routed ?

The answer is the android device holds the wan IP and any connectivity to the android device is routed like a switch would assign IPs.

I guess I'll just keep my router in access point mode.

My Asus has difficulty in some areas of my home. Is this only tackled by repeaters or mesh or is there an actual router that performs exceptionally?

Would this

https://www.asus.com/uk/networking-i...gaming-ax6000/

be better than my current asus tri-band ac3200 ? Mainly range.

I managed to get one for peanuts so am experimenting.at this point. I've not yet received the device though.

Got it for peanuts . . . hopes it doesn't arrive in the same condition as the TV did :D

Hopefully not a box of Peanuts! Lol

That router looks awesome though.

It would be awesome if somehow you could make your signal go on the wire!!! (So it would go for many miles)

But then it wouldn't be "wireless":erm:

Hehe I guess it may not be! (Unless you can just ride under the line and pick up the signal)

The ax6000 is soo much more stable. The smart connect on the ac3200 is really bad constantly dropping and picking up the device wifi connection, in my case my smartphone.

Is there a reason you don't have wired broadband in your house?

I used your link in your fttp thread. Says cityfibre are planned. City fibre website says I'm on private land. Openreach website says they are planned for this year.

Fttc is third world and overpriced.

Realistically dial up would likely be classed as 3rd world. FTTC is hardly terrible.
