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. ...
- 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.
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).
If you are pinging from the T3200M it won't work. There is no route to the LAN on the bridged side from the unbridged side. The T3200M Admin page is on the unbridged side.
I have tried pinging from the Windows command line without success. The bridging just seems to be inoperative. I am trying to send to router back to Ubiquiti (most disappointing) -- in the meantime I have upgraded my Purefibre to 1.5gb. Maybe a fresh start will lead somewhere positive.
- Any device connected to the LAN side any router won't be able to ping the WAN IP of said router. That's how network routing is supposed to behave.
It just occurred to me that if the T3200M is in bridge mode the Ubiquity should not be getting 192.168.1.1 as the WAN IP. It should be getting a public IP. Are you sure the Ubiquity is configured to use DHCP?Good question -- I didn't even get as far as configuring the Ubiquiti because I couldn't get a required Internet connection to run the setup utility. And, you are quite right I should have received an Ip address other than 192.168.1.1 -- it's kind of like a catch 22. Maybe it's possible to do some offline config work on the Ubiquiti and check that it's DHCP capable. Something else I did today was to connect the NOKIA Opt ethernet "out" directly to the Ubiquiti WAN port (after recycling the OPT) -- no difference, same inability to get into the Ubiquiti setup process and in this case no DHCP dimension (presumably). I am getting terminally impatient -- can't understand how Ubiquiti gets such great press (e.g. Garmin) and an almost evangelical following.
Thanks for your help
