One router & 2 APs, what do I set to avoid having to connect to different networks?
I have a Netgear AC1750 router and 2 EX6100 access points at 2 ends of my home. If I first connected to the internet to AP#1 (in Window's Network & Sharing Center as it had the strongest signal), as ...
Netgenie is a simply little program that Netgear issues that monitors the AP's and routers. It has a great little feature that shows the dBm value with time (over about 5 minutes) and you can overlay 4 or 5 different wireless signals on the output plot. With it, you can see at any one location which network has the best signal.
I am pretty sure that the Windows taskbar signal indicator trumps the Netgenie output.
On the EX 6100, I have assigned a static IP address to each, 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101.
The roaming aggression setting may be the helper. I don't know how to get to it (yet!)
Thanks, and any more guidance help is appreciated.
