Hey guys,

I've got a 3-storey house which I need to get rid of blind spots and if feasible eliminate multiple SSIDs.

I'm on Unifi with default TP-Link on front of house ground floor where the fiber cable terminates. I've also got Asus RT-N12HP act as AP and placed at the center of first floor. This AP should be able to cover ground floor and 2nd floor as well, but blind spots still exist especially on 2nd floor due to multiple walls. And I read Asus routers set as APs are rather unstable as I've got connection dropouts which requires me to restart the Asus router almost daily. I'm close to destroying my Asus router yesterday out of frustration.

What are my options..?

Sorry, should be extender mode... I've got no problem with the TP Link... It is only with the Asus that I've experienced dropouts and disconnections... Sometimes I can't connect the Asus router at all, saying password is wrong. After restarting the Asus then only I can connect back.

Tried already, firmware is up to date out of the box. There was even once the firmware reset itself after turning on from a long break. Sending the router in for warranty claim is one thing, I cannot afford the down time. That's why I'm looking for alternatives here.

The first RT-N12HP I bought for another house as a standalone router, it was super reliable, ran for months without needing to restart to this day. Should be 2 years old by now.

Bought a second unit of the same model for my house as an extender, mana tau performance is so unreliable.

In fact the first reliable unit runs a slightly older firmware in comparison, which makes me think better not to update the firmware of the reliable unit, just in case it screws up like the 2nd unit does.

While I’m sending this piece of junk for RMA, any good recommendations for replacement for extender placed on middle floor so that the signal can penetrate solid walls..?

Just so you know that my default router is Archer C1200. I would assume you would recommend a similar brand to maximise performance...?

Thank you very much for your input. Much appreciated...

Already tried using C1200 as a repeater, it’s far worse than the Asus that I have...

A bit steep in price, and I probably need 2 of these to cover my house..?

For RT-N12HP as repeater, could the antennas cause inteference in the signal in itself...?

Where did you find ac1300uhp for rm4xx...?

Interesting... thanks...

Anyone knows where I can buy replacement antennas for RT-N12HP...?

Lyra looks tempting...

Pair it with TM Unifi still needs beta firmware...?

Can it still work optimally without line of sight...? I have 3-storey house and planning to place the nodes on each floor...

I was about to ask if and when Lyra Trio's coming to Malaysia... Lyra that bad...?

Does your mesh firmware comment includes AiMesh as well...?

Not sure about other ISPs but Orbi doesn't support Unifi no...?

Recently TM upgraded my Unifi to 30Mbps and installing HyppTV by end of this month. Will Lyra support HyppTV...?

Just received and setup the Lyra...

Since it came with 3 devices with 3 separate serial numbers, does that means I have to register the product 3 times, 1 on each serial number...?

Thanks...

ASUSmy, why can’t my Lyra app detect all connected devices when I’m on node 2 (Hallway) and 3 (Bedroom), but otherwise no problem on main node (Living Room)...?
