• New AP - AX3000 - what a difference!

    From David@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 19 13:45:45 2024
    Previous posts refer to the general problems I've been having with elderly cable routers, WiFi outdoors etc.

    Because I had to move the TP-Link cable router (fudged as an AP) upstairs
    to be the main router, I was left with a gap in the WiFi coverage.

    I decided to buy an AP to fill the gap.

    I chose
    <https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CC246T1Y?>
    which I had never heard of purely because it fitted directly into a 13A
    socket and suited the location.

    I also began to understand what AX3000 was.

    Anyway, it turned up today, I did the quick set up using the YouTube
    video, and all seems to be working OK.

    The big difference is that I now seem to have WiFi signal down to the shed
    at the bottom of the garden.

    Presumably to the WiFi 6 beam shaping (or whatever).

    This could remove the need for an external AP - we shall see.

    Onwards with the search for a modern cable router.

    Cheers
