Does that mean i have to buy edgerouter too? |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Nov 27 2017, 10:57 AM) Yes and no. Yes, you'll need a router such as the Edgerouter to go along with the UAP ACs and no, it doesn't to be an Edgerouter, any router will do. I use Mikrotik routers with UAP ACs. Thanks for the clarification Do i use the TM provided router or i need a better router for better speed? What i understand that is the uap ac just transmit the signal coming from the router itself. Correct me if im wrong, the installation like this Isp>modem>router>uap ac |

QUOTE(pandera999 @ Nov 27 2017, 02:58 PM) its ISP (Fiber box) > modem/router > UAP AC Does that mean that i do not have to use the router. My setup right now Isp fiber box>huawei modem(provide by tm)>innatech router(provide by tm) If i use uap ac,will my setup look like this? Isp fiber box>modem>uap ac Or Isp fiber box> modem>router>uap ac So far im interest in uap ac lr for coverage it cover. Do i need a better router/modem or i can just use it as it is? |

QUOTE(pandera999 @ Nov 27 2017, 09:52 PM) you can get uap ac only.. no issue.. your case could be isp modem router > uap ac.. i have my setup in this way... ISP(fiber box) from TM, phone line connected to this fiber box > router > uap ac... Thanks a lot for helping me there. Just 1 last question, does uap ac lr good for 2 stories house? I read some comment before that the coverage is not good for vertical since i will install it on the 2nd floor |
