I ditched AT&T U-Verse about a year ago and switched back to Comcast’s Xfinity because it’s a superior product not comparing pricing. Better technology, faster internet and much, much larger On Demand library. For example, my sister still has U-Verse and she can only stream a handful of Game of...

Nothing out of the ordinary. I've tried disabling/enabling in BIOS, cleared CMOS. I tried Network Stack, capture interrupt 19 and anything else I can think of even though I doubt it has anything to do with it. The only thing out of ordinary is the missing ME Firmware. Could that possibly have...

Thanks. I tried the ASUS driver and the latest from Intel. Something is not loading at start up but OK when I restart. I switched off Rapid Start. Is there anything else in BIOS to affect this behavior?

My P8Z77-V Deluxe does not load the Intel NIC at start up. Disabling/enabling the adapter in Win10 won't do it either. It says "The device cannot start. (Code 10)". It will load the NIC when I restart. It's only after a shutdown it will not load. This led me to believe it has something to do...

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I can see that now. What have I gotten myself into? There's a tree between us so I'm hoping the LocoM2 (2.4GHz) can punch through it. It's all single family homes around me so I don't think it's too congested. I'm hoping 2.4GHz won't be a problem.

Wow, awesome post! Thank you very much. You've certainly given me a lot to consider. I like the idea of using a professional router but I fear my networking skills may not be up to the task. Maybe pfSense would be better for me. I do have a lot of old PC parts laying around. Thanks again.

Thank you! That's very helpful. My RT-N66U seems to have Static Route capabilities. I guess I need to read up on that. I've been itching to get the newer AC version, this may be my excuse and then give my current N66 to my sister.

I have static IP's on PC's connected to routers with DHCP servers on the same subnet. Are you guys saying that's a bad idea? Everything seems to be working OK, but obviously I'm in way over my head here.

Please see my earlier post where it seemed her PC was trying to go through my gateway. If my DHCP server (192.168.2.1) assigns the IP address to her PC, it seems to also assign my router as her gateway. How do I get her PC to go through her own gateway at 192.168.2.254? Good to know, thanks!

Wow, that's a lot of conjecture there, you're even worse than the last guy. Congratulations, you're a winner!

Not true. I don't have a problem buying a couple antennas but I thought I'd give it a try with hardware I already had. I was at least able to confirm I could successfully create the network I wanted. I don't want her internet traffic routed through my gateway. She has her own internet access...

Thanks, that's encouraging. I'd rather not run anything outside. I found that if I left the PC to obtain an IP address automatically it didn't get assigned to the right gateway. We each have our own internet gateways and I'd like each home to use their respective router. Manually assigning an...

Thanks, I thought that too. I would still need to run network cables to the front of our homes though. I might try setting it up with another EA-N66 to see if I can get away without having to run cables. I always wanted another one for my son's bedroom if it doesn't work.

From my sister's PC, when I first hooked it up, it got assigned to my router. I can only assume my ASUS RT-N66U was quicker to respond than her AT&T router. So I manually entered the gateway address to make sure her PC only uses her gateway. Yeah, I'm going to try that next but I thought I'd...

An update to my OP. My sister and her family moved in Friday and I seem to have the network issues figured out. I tried using an ASUS EA-N66 in Bridge Mode but the signal is too weak. When I ping my Home Server I only get 25-50% success. As a last resort I'm looking at a couple Ubiquiti...
