As the primary Wi-Fi Point, you have to connect the product to your existing modem with an Ethernet cable. It has three status lights dubbed as three Wi-Fi signal bars and functions as those in applicable situations on the front.

Using Net Gear R9000 at the moment, firmware has killed some of the functionality twice and I have had to go backwards in firmware with my fingers crossed hoping it was not bricked. Thanks for the advice Dong, i finally got a

I have read many threads about people liking and using the RT2600AC as an AP with the RT6600AX as the primary router. Optional vendor account: You will not need to register an account with Synology to manage a router or a mesh network remotely.

The other issue I have is with the Nighthawk as it seems to lose settings whenever the power goes out. I currently run a TP Link Archer c2300 at the front door with a TP Link AV600 powerline adapter kit to help in the master bedroom. Let’s say water is free, would you open all of the faucets and showers at all times just so that you can take advantage of the high water pressure that comes into your home? WPA3 is the next generation of Wi-Fi security, bringing new capabilities to enhance Wi-Fi protections in personal and enterprise networks. When all-Tri-band hardware is used, the system will pick the faster 5GHz band (the upper channels or 5GHz-1) as the wireless backhaul.If you are having a budget constraint or not so sure whether you need a mesh network, I would recommend getting just one MR2200ac and use it as a router. My thought was to put a RT2600ac where there are two internet sources, and then run CAT 6 cable 150 ft to their cafeteria (building 13), where I’d put in an MR2200ac, then run another CAT 6 cable 150 ft to the volunteer dorms (building 10), put another MR2200ac there, and work my way mostly in a star configuration, but in one case I might have to chain 3 of the MR2200ac.

Synology's SRM firmware has many business features, such as an advanced VPN server, robust VLANs, a DNS server, and the support for login credentials in Guest networking. If you were building your own system, have a two-story, 4,000 square foot house, have children, and don’t care about gaming, what would you do? One note that may or may not be obvious… When using 2 separate mesh WiFi systems, you need to pay attention to the WiFi channels that each system uses.

Can I also do this 1) add 1 more of AX92u to bring total of AX92u 3 units in Mesh or 2) use RT-AC86u as main router and put 2 units of AX92u as node as you mentioned that the router does not need to be tri-band.
