I would appreciate any help in setting up my home network.
I have Asus RT-N66U and Asus RT-AC66R wireless routers, Cable internet, house is wired with Cat 5 cable. I have an external USB hard drive I'd like to plug into the router for media and data storage. I also have a separate Unraid server that I use primarily to stream media but also for data backup. I have a Logitech Transporter for music and a multiple media playback options (Kodi box, WDTV Live, Amazon Fire, HTPC, HDHomerun Prime) and OBi for telephone. I have unmanaged switches for extra Ethernet ports if needed.
That's a lot of stuff!
First, I want to attach the RT-N66U to the cable modem and use that for Firewall/security, Wifi. I then want to attach the RT-AC66r to the RT-N66U via wired cable to the other side of the house (thereby giving me full home coverage). What ports and setting do I use for the AC66R? Settings for the N66U? DHCP server?
That's enough for now but you can see I have a complicated setup for a non IT person.
Thanks,
Joe M.
