Adding non Telus Mesh wireless repeaters to the home network
Eh folks- sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times... my search results don't quite hit the mark. Wanting to add a couple of Asus routers in repeater mode to the 2 unit "mesh" since the sig...
The simple answer is that you cannot have two local IP addresses in one network, well you can but you’d need to change your subnet mask.
Those mesh networks want you to connect directly to the Public IP address, and they will configure the rest - they are idiot proof allegedly.
So you need to bridge one of your routers, either the Asus Mesh or the Telus Modem/ Router. Chances are the former will be difficult as it is meant to be idiot proof, unless you have advanced mode in there, then just look for bridge mode and it work.
Your best bet is call Telus and ask them to bridge their router, this will disable the routing function on box and only leave the modem. Now your Asus mesh is free to do what it was meant to do, assign IP addresses.
