TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System
Thinking of replacing my existing T3200M router plus 3 Arcadyan extenders with a TP-Link Mesh system. My wifi network has been showing some flakiness of late and I'm thinking it's time to move on. I use Optik TV plus but without any Telus custom boxes i.e. Internet only -- Telus Fiber Plus. I assume I would just plug the new router into the Nokia ONT box and proceed to configure my wifi using the TP-Link app. Anyone tried this? My other option is to go with Telus WiFi Plus for another $10 per month.
- Yes, should be a straight swap. I recommend duplicating the same SSID and password with the new router so you don't need to reconfigure any of your devices.

Well I mad a leap and purchased the new Ubiquiti Dream Router. Not wanting to bring my Actiontec network I am trying the UDR in bridge mode. The UDR seems to think it has been assigned a local IP 192.168.1.1 which should not conflict with anything -- but, when I try to ping this address on the Actiontec Admin client it it times out and there is no sig of this address in any of the 3200's status pages. Probably something simple -- maybe Windows is intervening?
- You need to enable ping in the firewall rules for WAN_LOCAL
Tried that -- looks to me as though the T3200m is doing nada wrt to bridge mode. The router linked to 3200 port 1 is showing 192.168.1.1 i.e. the router default -- so it doesn't appear that the 3200m is responding with a served up IP address from its DHCP function (as apparently it should).
