Hi guys,
Your opinions on the following my planned UNIFI home setup is highly appreciated.
Objective:-
To offload wifi function at Asus RTN16 to 2 separate Wifi AP (G & N).
Wifi G - target user - Android tablets (diff SSID)
Wifi N - Laptops (diff SSID)
For switch, can I just use any switch.
Any recommendation?
Do I need to setup anything or just cucuk saje from RTN16 LAN port to Swicth LAN port?
Tq

nice pic but why need offload rt n16? get too hot?
u know wireless is not part of "cpu" of rotuer... is separate part.. if u open router u see wireless card plug in the router inside.. just like adding graphics card in ur PC..
only one case need use outside AP is got new location far the router cannot reach so add ap using cable to reach far...otherwise no need bro... wasting electric and have extra router running no benefit
keep the other router/ap spare like new condition... maybe need it one day
also no need the switch... after u connect any ap/router to ur main router then all the ports r normal lan port...
rt n16 (1 port use STB, 1 port use AP, 1 port use player..
1 left)
tp-link AP/router (1 port used to connect to rt n16..
3 left)
and if u use wrt54g... u got
3 extra left aso
just showing how u can money savings..
performance drop = 0%
