I've been working with the WN3000rp units for over a year now to extend our home WiFi network working the repeaters off a Amped 10000 unit connected to a TrendNet WAP Model TEW-673GRU. I found that as soon as I upgraded the Netgear units to the new firmware, they could not be cascaded.
The previous post on daisy chaining (cascade) the Netgear units (using the old firmware) explains there is a trade off in bandwidth which a post responder recommended putting another 'wired' router between the two Netgear units as a solution. I'd like to hear specifics from someone who has actually done that set up if anyone has and to know if that did the trick.
My other alternative is to add a bi-quad antenna to the TrendNet router and maybe an amp to boost the signal strength as a an alternative to cascading the routers. There is also an option of using the Asus RTN12 with different SSIDs for each of the Netgear units. Has anyone tried that?
Thank you very much for your answer. I have the same problem with cascade configuration and the only thing that i´vee been listening here from the "Experts" are poor opinions without a solid foundation. I believe you and i think that this problem becomes from the Device.
