Does anyone have experience (good, bad or otherwise) in using an old router as an access point but connecting the AP via a PowerLine adaptor. I have an XB7 (Arris) and a 1.5 GB internet plan but the stability (not strength per se) my wireless conne...

I have a fairly simple question but in all my reading back and forth I just can't seem to find a simple answer. Which makes me think the question is not so simple lol. And I am not sure if this best belongs in Internet or Ignite TV so I am tagging @C...

So, I was hoping once and for all to get definitive answers to a question that I have never been 100% clear about. I have an XB7 (and formerly and XB6) where I was careful NOT to enable band steering and kept my 2.4 and 5 GHz SSID's separate. Reason ...

Hi all, Wanted to get the collective wisdom here. Sorry if this has been dealt with previously. When I had the older Hitron modem I always used it in bridge mode and had an ASUS AC68U Gigabit router (which I still have boxed away). When I switche...

@-G- @Datalink A brief update. As mentioned earlier, I do already have an ASUS RT-AC68U gathering dust. I used it in bridge mode when I had the old Hitron modem but have not used it once I got the XB6 and now XB7 since they newer modems as gateways ...

@Datalink WOW, that is a lot to unpack for my aging brain lol. Seriously, although it is none of my business, may I ask how much time you spend daily giving such detailed answers to community users like me. I find the depth of knowledge to be amazin...
