Dear all,


my home currently using Unifi, ASUS AC1200.

Now,
i wanna setup a modem in my study room.
As one of my devices need to link to the modem in my study room, as it do not have wifi feature.

Any link of installation or the setup as normal new modem setup ?

Thank you very much

You already have a router, and yet you still want to connect a modem to your router ?

I don't quite get what you want, please elaborate more...

Bro, you do know the difference between a router and a modem right ? confused.gif

is not modem. it is called router. modem doesnt do any thing.


modem is just to convert your analog signal to digital signal.

router is to establish an internet connection.

so you are referring to modem or router?

just get home plug. problem solved.

if you donno what is homeplug. GOOGLE IT!!!

As the other poster said, get a powerline bro. You don’t need to buy another router, and you definitely don’t need a modem or BTU, in this case.
