Is T3200M compatible with Wifi Boost 7 (v3.0)?
I currently use the Actiontec T3200M connected directly to the fibre receptacle on the wall (I live in an apartment that is pre-wired for fibre). I recently upgraded to PureFibre Gigabit. The CSR sta...
Hey Variable - the Boost 7 needs to be plugged into the Network Access Hub so your problems may be due to the Boost 7 being connected to the T3200

Community ManagerHey Variable - this was a cool read, thank you.
One thing I wanted to ask: The T3200 doesn't support Meshing. In this configuration (Bridging, etc.) did you disable the wireless network from the T3200 to use the Boost 7 instead? Otherwise you have two conflicting networks in the same space and you might run into interference issues.
I ask because in the past I've seen that people end up having 2 IPs and they begin experiencing issues like lag or pages not loading. I understand you're essentially using the T3200 as a Network switch. Why not remove it completely and use the Boost 7 with a slightly linger ethernet cable to the NAH? Would a 1Gb network switch not work better for this situation?
Super curious and I know you've put in a lot of work to make this functional so I hope my curiosity is coming across okay

Yeah, I disabled the wifi on the T3200.

I live in a residential high-rise where the fibre optic line goes directly from the wall-plate into the T3200M. When I spoke to customer support a few months ago, they said that I wouldn't get a NAH unless I subscribed to a plan higher than my current 1Gbps.
