Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can approach
this requirement:
I want to feed the available internet from room B to room A,
wirelessly.
Currently, room A is DSL/router connected to an unmanaged
switch that serves my wired devices fine. Wireless is also
sufficient. But.. the DSL is scheduled to be decomissioned.
Meanwhile, I have fibre internet installed in room B. There
really wasn't a proper way to wire fibre to room A. So, I am
left with a wireless solution to send the internet to room A.
The fibre is terminated with a Deco x50, provided by the ISP.

sr360n to associate as a bridge to the sr516ac. But I am still
not sure with the IP addresses need to be and which physical
ports I need to connect the sr516ac to the Deco.

aren't you over thinking this? can't you just use a wifi router for this issue? -+-

I *am* trying have a wifi solution, but with the equipment I've
already got.
Meanwhile.. a wired solution is looking to be ok. I just have
to manoeuver creatively around some obstacles.
FWIW, the Deco x50 is crap. For one thing, although it supports
both 2.4g and 5g bands, there is only one SSID for the device.
So.. the user can't select a specific band. It decides what is
"best" for the attempted connection. I've never had a 5g
connection with it, even while standing a few feet away from
it. The TP-Link forum is rife with complaints about this.
Infact, many of the other models of the Mesh variety have that
limitation.
From what you've described, my understanding is that the x50 isn't what provides you with wireless, it's the sr516ac?
I ended up settling with a wired connection. After a total of 4
hours and 4 patch cords later (and an added $35 cost for one of
the 25ft patch cords), I have my existing network tied to the
fibre feed, full speed. 80% of the wiring run isn't pretty, but
dude where are you buying your ethernet cables?
you can get 25 ft for 9 bucks on amazon.
i have like 4 100ft cables i don't even use in my basement.

I didn't have time to order online. My DSL was already reduced
from 5Mbps to 2.5Mbps, and I didn't want to continue at that
low speed waiting for a shipment of cable. The hardest part,
I ended up getting grey (the only colour that was in stock at
the hardware store) which I didn't think would work (I was

you're wackadoo
OTOH, if I need a tool, plumbing supplies, nuts/bolts/screws, etc., I am probably going to my local hardware store. The help much more likely to know what they are talking about than at Wal-Mart or Lowes, or than someone who
is selling something on Amazon.
it's my experience that those people in the hardware stores can talk the talk, but they have very little experience. often times they repeat what other people have told them. it's an act.
hardware stores have OLD stock, and they are more expensive. i'd rather use a walmart or amazon. any questions you have can be looked up on youtube.

You're going to the wrong hardware stores.
I've got a Kitz & Pfeil
near me that always knows their shit, and has that
obscure stuff that I need.

I think so, too. I am sure there are some folks who were there that don't know their stuff, but there are some guys who've been working in hardware from long before Lowes moved into our area that know a lot about the stuff.
