Macca65 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 A question for the more tech savvy amongst you Can I set/connect another router to my R1 without having to go through hoops to get it configured? My current set up is wall>Virgin SH in modem mode>R1>PS4 Could I put a Asus router connected to the R1 for the wifi users in the house? Bearing in mind that there's only two of us in the house, but I generally disconnect my R1 when not gaming and use the Asus to connect to the Internet. Thank you in advance
PharmDawgg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I have my Asus connected to my R1 and have the Asus in AP mode. (1)because I can use all the congestion features of the R 1 and (2) I need the wireless ac aspect.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 19, 2015 Administrators Posted June 19, 2015 +1 for what Buck says! I wouldn't have thought it would require much configuration other than putting it in AP mode as Buck says.
PharmDawgg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 No sir just point and click on the Asus GUI and connect your Ethernet cable(R1 LAN to Asus WAN). And you should be set.
Zennon Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Rememeber that congestion control will not be in control of the other routers wifi which could cause you to lag.

I think if it is in AP mode then the Netduma can see the individual devices and therefore congestion control works fine
PharmDawgg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I think if it is in AP mode then the Netduma can see the individual devices and therefore congestion control works fine I can confirm that Crossy. And you can actually see the Asus router as well because it give it an IP address. I have the rt-ac68u.
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 19, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted June 19, 2015 I can confirm that Crossy. And you can actually see the Asus router as well because it give it an IP address. I have the rt-ac68u. It sounds like a really goos setup then as you get to keep all the features of the Netduma and the AC Wifi of the Asus!
PharmDawgg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 It sounds like a really goos setup then as you get to keep all the features of the Netduma and the AC Wifi of the Asus! It probably would be if I could get my stupid modem sorted out. I have the Motorola/Arris 6183. Yeah the one with the bug. But I'm trading it in for a Netgear CM500.
Macca65 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Hi Buck so if I connect the Asus to the R1 I can use the Ri for the PS 4 wired and the Asus for wifi excuse my ignorance but what is AP mode (doh)
Macca65 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions
PharmDawgg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Yes. Right now I have my Modem>R1>Asus The only device connected to my R1 is my Xbox. Everything else is connected by wifi through the Asus. AP=Access Point. Basically it is extending the wifi capabilities of the R1.
Zennon Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I had not read your post that was before mine Buck, i could delete mine and pretend non of this happend
