When you are looking at routers, look for load balancing as a set up option. In their words, way too limited in dealing with anything but the simplest setups, no matter what they claim with their marketing of wall to wall connectivity, in the fine print, Rogers does talk about devices, interference, building structure, etc, all the things that a Gateway can't deal with well. But play around and find your best configurations on it all.īy the way, if you ever go to a third party wholesaler of Rogers Internet, most of them are currently using Hitron for the Docsis 3.1 support, but they do not use gateways, period.
Since you are a tenent, I am thinking you have others nearby using WIFI - get an app like WIFI analyzer to see what channels and bandwidths you are using compared to others in the area and try to avoid any overlap as much as possible - easier on 5 than on 2.4. When setting up, try and get your bands on different channels so you can avoid interference as much as possible.

Try it without the Air first and see how it goes - Mac devices should run fine, maybe a bit of configuration required and it will reduce the amount of potential WIFI interference. You don't need more speed or a limited combined gateway device, you need to have a smart traffic control device, putting slower vehicles into a slow lane, and fastest vehicles who are in a hurry into the fast lane and that is what the load balancing on the Blackhawk and the other do, they automatically spread across 3 bands and directionality via beam forming. I was thinking about the silliness of what it is often said to us - the analogy in your case, is you are trying to run many vehicles down a single road from the Hitron at rush hour. I am guessing you will have an Ethernet cable between the new router and the Air (I don't know Air at all, so don't know how they work, but theoretically, you would want wired to avoid loss of throughput via WIFI to both. I just saw your diagram now - they get approved before we get to see them. Yes both are great routers by the looks of it - the reviews say either one do a great job. *Edited my thinking gave you some insights - and sorry, I missed the bridge question - yes, the Hitron is in bridge mode - you want its mediocre routing and WIFI capabilities out of the picture.
And the router connects to the the Hitron CGN3. I'm guessing I put the Hitron in bridge mode as shown in image below? My question is this:Īll I need is to connect everything to the new router. So here's an image of my planned network. That made me think, boy, this is starting to get complicated. All the Apple devices connect to this TC for backup purposes. Came to these two:Īnyway, as soon as I narrowed down on these two contenders, I remembered I also have an Apple Time Capsule currently in Bridge mode. Hopefully this will also get me some WiFi in the backyard without needing any range extenders. So I came home and put on my thinking hat and came up with procuring a good WiFi router instead.
And that sets me back an increase of about $100 per month.

And this will fix your troubles (which is high network traffic for my 'measly' 100mbps)Īnd of course, when I make the trip to the Rogers store, they say "Sorry, you need to upgrade to 500mbps" to get the gigabit modem. Naturally, when I called Rogers, they said your Hitron CGN3 is old - go get it swapped with a gigabit modem at Rogers for free. So I've started facing momentarily slowdowns on browsing, WiFi connection drop/reconnection cycles in various parts of the house, Alexa taking it's own time to reply, etc.
