Please help me with setting up with an Archer Router, Router (AP), Ranger Extender
Hi All,
I recently switched from Verizon FIOS to Optimum (fiber) for my home. I am disappointed with the performance of Optimum's gateway (modem) and three wi-fi extenders.
My brother gave me his spare stuff for me to try:
- TP-link, AX1500 (USW) router, v.2.6 #1
- TP-link, AX1500 (USW) router, v.2.6 #2
- TP-link, AC2600. RE650, range extender, VN1
- TP-link, AC1200, RE305, v.4.6 mesh WIFI extender #1
- Verizon FIOS G1110 router
This is my house layout with Ethernet (CAT5) locations.
- 1A through 3E indicates Ethernet jack locations
- 2A is the Optimum Gateway
Setup Question
Although my house is only 1800 sq feet, but due to it being old, there are many obstructions throughout the house. The primary issue is that my teenagers' rooms (x1 and x2) are serviced by a single WIFI extender from the first floor and the performance is really poor.
Below is the setup I am thinking about:
- 2B: Optimum Gateway (bridge mode) --> Archer 1500 router #1, wired
- 2B to 3E: Archer #1 to Archer #2 (AP mode), wired
- 3E to RE: Archer #2 to RE650 Range Extender, WIFI
- 2B to 2D: Archer #1 to RE305 Mesh WIFI extender, wired
- 2B to 1A: Archver #1 to Verizon FIOS G-1110 router (AP mode), wired
What do you guys think about my proposal?
