An AP is basically a router without any routing capabilities. As long as you use the LAN ports on the router (and ideally it supports AP mode) it's fine

i noticed that the router i have has a wan port(tha t s the one connected to the isp router) 2 ports numbered(the lan ones, main pc and server are connected to those) and an iptv/3 port. never heard of that what is it"?

Yes

pulsar kettle
#

why is that? i was thinking the internet needs to come in the wan port like for the other one? if it s in the lan and put in ap mode it won t create a new network?

novel edge
#

You've got that the wrong way around

#

If you connect the WAN port you'll create a whole new network

pulsar kettle
#

oh yeah that s what i mean t by the question. my phrasing was better in my head with the intonation xD

#

well thanks. then i ll see which is cheaper of those 2

#

i m guessing i want a gigabit one wether ap or router since that s what the switch provides as well

novel edge
#

You'd be hard pushed to find one without a gbit port

pulsar kettle
#

i also saw those plug in socket extenders that have an ethernet port? are they any good?

novel edge
#

Depends entirely on what they are

#

Probably not

@pulsar kettle When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

Then you're shopping in the '90s

1 more thing. i see on some routers with dual band that they say sth like 600 +1300Mbps

#

that means the 2.4 is 600 and the 5ghz is 1300?

novel edge
#

Yes

#

And that's theoretical, unlikely to be what you really get

pulsar kettle
#

ofc i didn t really expect getting it. idk why it s like that but i should have 1.5gigs. it s certainly faster than it was before but i never once got the advertised speed on any plan

#

i m guessing 500-600 is ok for the 2.4gbps right? smart devices won t need more than that i guess

novel edge
#

Well, you won't get close to that unless you're living in the arse end of nowhere and can max out your channel widths

#

But most smart devices won't even be using 10 Mb/s

pulsar kettle
#

oh yeah about channels. i was thinking on switching a bit around to see how it improoves the speed and find a stable channel that won t interfere with zigbee cause i m planning on getting on that as well. I noticed in the past that if i switch channels devices become more unstable. is it something normal?

novel edge
#

No

#

Unless you're picking a channel with more interference

pulsar kettle
#

meh i guess in an apartment building every channel would be crowded anyways

#

would you suggest separating back the 2.4 and 5 ghz network and merge them on the other router since there are very few devices that connect to that?

novel edge
#

What problem do you have that you're trying to solve?

pulsar kettle
#

devices dissconect due to range mostly that would be the problem

#

and i think it might also have to do with the fact that the 2 bands are merged together but i m not sure

novel edge
#

Probably not, unless your router is kicking clients to get them to connect to the other band
