Hello all! am quite new to this changing router.
always have been using what is issued by individual ISPs
so currently i'm using Asus Lyra mesh (3 unit).
Does it help with the coverage, if i were to change to 1 x AX3600 with 1 x AX1800?
I'm using wireless backhaul, without any line of sight.
Not a rule of thumb, but personally I will always put the more powerful device (AX3600 in this case) to me the main router and AC1200 as AP.Question
This is my current setup. ONT -- Asus ac1200 -- ax3600. All connected thru lan cable.
Im assuming my ax3600 should act as AP while leaving the routing work to ac1200. If so, how do I set my ax3600 to AP mode? Is there a need to?
My ax3600 is china version.
Many thanks
Why do you still need the ASUS AC1200? The AX3600 is unable to cover your whole place?Question

My VPNunlimited by KeepSolid plan works well (connect through wireguard protocol). I read that ax3600 don't support openVPN. But you can use other protocol like Wireguard, IKEv2,etc (I saw on nordvpn website they support 3 other protocol other than openvpn). You should be able to just select the protocol easily from nordvpn app.does this router support VPN like nordvpn?
Hi All,
I have just recently started using this rather awesome router.
I have facing issues in adding my smart robovac and wireless printer to the network.
Had tried changing the dns to google.
Any gurus here to help?
Since ac1200 is inside your DB, this is the best setup for your house now.The ax3600 is able to cover my whole place but I need some Lan connection to my living room. So I need a bridge (not sure if I used the correct term) in my DB box. I can't put the ax3600 in my DB box cause its not really at the center of my place..
I can alternatively switch the position of the routers as suggested but most of my wireless equipment is connected to the AP. So the ac1200 is not good enough to act as the AP. Which is why I replace the AP from ac1200 to ax3600.
So my current network is something like this..
ONT -- ac1200 -- ax3600
-- living room TV box
Any suggestion on how to improve? Thanks...

And yes, generally its a good idea to set your AX3600 as AP.
If you need purely for Lan connection, then turn off the wireless for your AC1200 if you are able to switch the position and use it purely as a router. You don't really need it to be in the Centre as the wireless has quite a big coverage. Personally, I also placed at the db box which is at the left end of my house and the furthest end is still able to receive good connection.Thanks! But not sure why I am unable to do it successfully..
If I do the method shown in YouTube.. my devices thru WiFi is unable to be assigned IP address. My computer connected thru lan thru the AP is able to access internet.
If I just set it to AP mode, my AP is unable to get internet from my main router (ac1200).
Gave up.. lol
