Thanks for the links guys, but won't connecting to the router using my phone, or even getting this card still degrade the AC signal to "N" speeds?
Won't setting up another access point just create more interference?
I guess my existing router could be the extra access point if required?
Also I thought the ASUS AC66U had dual radios so the second access point would not be needed? I'm still not understanding the contradicting statements I posted above.
Or F-it and just leave my network cable tapped to the carpet across the hallway because wireless is WAY over complicated and I will end up with stuttering video anyways if someone does something as simple as connect to my router with a non N/AC device.
Always go wired if you can, especially if you plan on sending video. If you have to go across carpet/thresholds, you can get wire protectors to go over it, so you don't have to use tape: http://www.amazon.com/Wiremold-CDI15-Corduct-On-Floor-Protector/dp/B0006VAWFG. That was the first link I saw, you probably want to check around for prices.
so I got my Asus in now.
My daughter has a wireless-G device.
Does it make sense for me to simply set up my Asus as specified earlier in this thread, using the N-only, then plug my (now old) DIR-825 into it via cat-5, set it up as an access point, enable only G on that access point, and have my daughter connect her little gameboy (or whatever it is) straight to the DIR-825 using the G wireless stream?
will that enable everybody else to function like a "normal N" network, while allowing my daughter to connect her gameboy using wireless-G without messing the rest of us up?
Since both wireless N and wireless AC have a 2.4Ghz 40Mhz option, at a data rate of 300Mbps both can co-exist.
But wireless G has a max datarate of 54Mbps and does not require 2x2 or MIMO.
So when a wireless G client connects, the AP has to downgrade to 54Mbps.
G clients can connect via 1x1 or 2x2 (MIMO)
N clients will connect at 54Mbps via 2x2 or 3x3 (if available) ALWAYS MIMO
So wireless N users are still using wireless N....they are just being slowed down to the same 54Mbps that G users have to use.
The actual reason is that the multiplexing using for the wireless signal is the same for N as it is for G at 54Mbps down to 16Mbps. Speeds faster than 54Mbps use a different multiplexing signal. Wireless N CAN use the superior multiplexing (required for the higher speeds) at lower data-rates but not maintain compatibility with G clients at the same time.
Class dismissed.
ok, so following this logic, then using a separate G-enabled access point cat-5'ed into my Asus (running N only) should allow my daughter's gameboy to connect to the G-enabled access point only, yes?
In other words
Asus RT-N66U = N only, connected to cable modem
DIR825 = G only, connected via ethernet to Asus
all devices that can use N will connect to the Asus, at full N speeds
My daughter's gameboy will connect to the DIR825, at G speed, without affecting the rest of the clients connecting to the Asus
yes?
