  • Thanks all. I think the XT9 is the winner then. I definitely want more control that the ISP router gives me as well, and I miss the features my old Asus used to give. I used to have Comcast and put the modem into bridged, then used the Asus for everything wireless. I was thinking of doing the same with the ET12’s or XT9’s.

    I like the idea of wired APs, though. I’m thinking - if I just turned off all WiFi broadcasts from the CR1000A, I can use the Asus mesh for WiFi and potentially even use MoCa adapters and leverage the existing coax in the house for a few wired APs.

    Pardon my ignorance but if I wanted to use one or two wired WiFi access points in addition two the two Asus units (vs. buying a 3rd or 4th), would a switch be helpful? If so - where in the architecture should it go? I’m assuming in between ISP modem and various Asus units would be okay - but I’m wondering if it actually would need to be after the main Asus router and the satellites/APs?

    Thanks again.
