"No harm in trying.\n\nI know of a wireless network situation where the \"neat\" person continually  (at least orginally) kept straightening up the router antennas so the antennas would all be vertical.    Wireless became quite problematic  after that was done.   Once a couple of the antennas were \"angled out\" and left that way - all was well.\n\nLikewise using USB extension cable to relocate a  wireless USB adapter up and away from the back of a compter can make a difference.   Depending on circumstances and location just  a couple of feet can improve reception and transmission.\n\n\nI am setting up manual ip for my devices connected to the 2nd repeater or else it's a lotery, sometimes it works flawlessly sometimes it gives ip error, I wonder if I set a static ip of 192.168.0.1 for my 1st repeater if it will fix the ip conflicts without setting manual ip for every single smartphone.\nSo can I put it as 192.168.0.1 or it will not work as the dhcp of the modem is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254?\n\nEdit : O tried it, it simply doesn't work. \nTomorrow I will try again to put the ac86u as router mesh and move as much as I can the ac66u to receive its signal, this time I will also disable the wifi from the modem, would it boost slightly the asis wifi? \n\nAlso is the ac57u v3 mesh compatible? If yes the max speed of the ac86u as router of 280mb/s will decrease by 2 on each node if I add the ac57u to the party and build a mesh network?"
