Uverse + ASUS RT‑AC5300 + Orbi AC3000. Best setup?
Evening ladies and gents! I just purchased an Orbi AC3000, and I am very excited to set it up. I have not though, because I am still trying to figure out the best possibly configuration. First,...
The Orbi setup is quite smart.
It will detect the existence of any other routers and set itself up accordingly with a different IP address range to avoid conflict.
Why don't you try and run it with the Asus in place and see how it performs?
Having said this, I am also a Uverse customer and had the same coverage issues (3700 sq ft) as you so installed a secondary router downstairs as well.
After getting Orbi I replaced the secondary router with the orbi router and placed the orbi satellite upstairs in a central location (The AT&T RG was in a closet behind a panel).
I now have whole house coverage including outside and even when I visit the neighbors!!
Anyone?
Disable the two things that you changed, one at a time and see if things improve.
I doubt the Arlo will cause any issues, I don't know about the Asus QOS setting.
Also, make sure that the Orbis have the latest firmware, both the router and the satellite.
