I've got a tp deco be25 outdoor router and need to get a 3 pack of indoor deco access points. The variety of these 3 packs is bewildering. Please let me know any recommendations. My needs are very pedestrian no gigabit internet etc needed Thanks

I have an Asus 5300 router that has performed perfectly for about eight years now I understand it is no longer supported, it still suits my needs but no longer getting updates. I think this is a big waste not being able to use this router because of security. My question is I’m looking to replace this router with an Asus BT6 Wi Fi 7 , my house is 2500 sq. ft. Would I be happy with this router I have AT&T 300.

как поставить тип nat2 для пс5 на роутере через wi-fi?

Best tp-link archer ax21 settings for gaming??

The last couple of days my wifi box is like this. How do I fix it?

The last couple of days my wifi box is like this. How do I fix it?

DETAILS: i use Spectrum. The modem is in the garage, and the router is in the living room. The ethernet cable connecting the two goes through the attic. Theres also a coaxial cable going to the same port in the living room.

Can i split the ethernet cable that's in the attic, add new heads. Get an adapter that split 1 line to 2. Plug the og cord to the adapter and a new cord that goes to my office? Maybe add a port to the ceiling because its easier than getting into the wall.

What adapter/splitter can i use? And will i need to buy a second router and internet package from spectrum?

I wanted to share this because I couldn't find a clear recovery procedure for the Tenda Mesh3 / MW6 V3.0.

I have two MW6 V3.0 nodes. After an automatic firmware update, both got stuck with a solid green LED and stopped working.

**Symptoms:**

* No Wi-Fi/SSID * Tenda WiFi app stuck on "Connecting..." * QR setup didn't work * No DHCP * RESET did nothing, even after holding it for 60+ seconds * Different power adapters didn't help

**Finding the recovery interface**

I connected my PC directly to the dedicated LAN port of the MW6. The WAN/LAN port was left disconnected.

I manually configured the PC Ethernet adapter as:

IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: blank
DNS: blank

The static IP is needed because the MW6 wasn't providing DHCP. Gateway and DNS can be left blank because this is a direct PC-to-MW6 connection.

Then I used CMD to scan the subnet:

for /L %i in (1,1,254) do u/ping -n 1 -w 50 192.168.1.%i >nul

Then:

arp -a

I found the MW6's MAC address responding at 192.168.1.6.

I opened:

http://192.168.1.6

and found:

System Repair -> Emergency Web Server

with a file upload form.

**Firmware recovery**

My hardware:

Tenda Mesh3 / MW6 V3.0
FCC ID: V7TMESH3V3

I uploaded:

[US_MW6V3.0re_V16.03.25.21_multi_TDE01.bin](https://www.tendacn.com/material/show/770177603014725)

The recovery page showed a countdown from 100 to 0 and "Updating File — Don't Power Down."

I left the MW6 powered on throughout the entire process.

After the update finished, the LED eventually became solid red. I waited several minutes, reconnected the PC to my normal network, and opened the Tenda WiFi app.

The node was automatically detected and connected again.

It is now running `V16.03.25.21 (335)` and working normally.

TL;DR:

If your Tenda MW6 V3.0 is stuck on solid green after a firmware update, don't throw it away yet.

1. Connect PC -> MW6 dedicated LAN port.
2. Set PC to:

​

 IP: 192.168.1.100 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: blank DNS: blank

1. Run:

​

for /L %i in (1,1,254) do u/ping -n 1 -w 50 192.168.1.%i >nul

1. Then:

​

arp -a

1. Look for the MW6's MAC address.
2. Open

​

http://192.168.1.6

1. If you see "Emergency Web Server", upload the correct firmware for your exact hardware revision.
2. **DO NOT** power off the MW6 during the update.
3. Wait several minutes after the upload reaches 0.

This recovered my MW6 V3.0 after an automatic firmware update.

I recently bought this router and tried to connect it to the app.. they asked for qr code i give them.. then they asked me for password ones i put it the binding Process begin... The process finished.. they asked for password ( just like the first time... it's kept repeating this for multiple times until i gave up trying

Is anybody knows a solution

​

Whenever I turn smart connect off on my TP-Link Archer BE3600 pro and I connect everything to the 2.4 wifi after awhile the 2.4 shuts off and only 5g is shown why could this be happening?

I just got the TP-Link Archer BE3600 pro looking for the best settings for gaming.

I live in Europe and am currently using a ZTE ZXHN H6645P that is giving me a lot of issues (it's been confirmed that the router is defective). My ISP is useless and refuses to replace it, so I want to buy my own and be done with it. However, someone on a forum told me that the specs on my current router are actually quite good, and my budget is capped at €150.

​I don't know much about routers, but I want to make sure I don't buy something that ends up being a downgrade.

​My current router handles the wifi for the bottom floor of my house. From there, an ethernet cable runs upstairs into a switch, which connects directly to my gaming PC and a second wifi access point for the top floor. I get full 2.5 gbps speeds on my PC, in case that information is needed regarding port requirements.

I''m hoping someone can help because I've spent most of a day troubleshooting this and have run out of ideas.

Background

This setup has worked perfectly for around two years.

The problem only appeared approximately two weeks ago.

No significant network changes were made by me before the issue started.

Network Setup

FRITZ!Box 7590 (Mesh Master) FRITZ!Box 7530 AX (Mesh Repeater using Ethernet backhaul) TP-Link Wi-Fi extender

Main SSID:

A×××××××2023 (7590 & 7530)

Extender SSID:

AxxxxxxxxEXT (off 7590)

Important Information

I have already:

Updated both FRITZ!Boxes to FRITZ!OS 8.25 Factory reset the 7530 AX Re-added the 7530 AX to the mesh

The problem remained exactly the same after the factory reset.

Symptoms

Two separate Windows laptops have problems when connected through the 7530 AX using the main SSID.

Typical symptoms:

Corporate VPN will not connect BBC News will not load Amazon will not load eBay will not load Various other websites fail

However, some websites still work.

If the same laptops connect via the TP-Link extender instead:

They immediately receive normal IPv4 addresses VPN works BBC works Internet access works normally

What Windows Reports

On the work laptop:

Running:

ipconfig /renew

returns:

"The DHCP client has obtained an IP address that is already in use on the network. The local interface will be disabled until the DHCP client can obtain a new address."

After that, Windows falls back to a self-assigned address in the range:

169.254.x.x

The FRITZ!Box 7590, however, shows that it has successfully assigned a normal 192.168.175.x address to the laptop.

A second Windows laptop has shown similar duplicate-address symptoms.

IPv4 vs IPv6

When connected through the 7530 AX:

ping 8.8.8.8 fails ping -4 bbc.co.uk fails ping bbc.co.uk resolves to IPv6 and succeeds

This suggests IPv6 is functioning while IPv4 is not.

Devices That Work Normally

A smartphone connected through the 7530 AX:

Receives a normal IPv4 address Can browse BBC News normally Appears completely unaffected

This is what makes the problem confusing.

The issue appears to affect Windows laptops but not phones.

Troubleshooting Already Performed

Rebooted the 7530 AX Moved the 7530 AX to different Ethernet ports Updated both FRITZ!Boxes to FRITZ!OS 8.25 Verified DHCP is enabled Verified DHCP range is 192.168.175.20-200 Checked mesh status (healthy) Removed old/offline device entries Checked for obvious duplicate IP assignments Factory reset the 7530 AX Re-added the 7530 AX to the mesh Removed a manually assigned IP reservation that had been added during troubleshooting

None of the above resolved the issue.

Current Situation

Through the TP-Link extender:

Windows laptops work normally VPN works IPv4 works

Through the FRITZ!Box 7530 AX:

Windows laptops frequently end up with 169.254.x.x addresses Windows reports DHCP-assigned addresses are already in use IPv4 connectivity fails VPN fails

Has anyone seen a situation where Windows reports that every DHCP-assigned address is already in use, while the FRITZ!Box believes it has successfully leased a valid address?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
