T3200M Bridge mode and Google Mesh WIFI Setup
Hi, The wireless signal from my T3200 does not provide sufficient coverage in my home as well the wifi doesn't play nice with certain devices on my network. ie - I have a server and printer (bot...
I bridged port 1
Port 1 > Wan connection of the Google device
Lan connection on the google device > Switch for all wired devices in the house
All other devices in house now connecting to the new wifi I set up
Wireless Radio on T3200M remains on
Port 2 of the T3200M > PVR Optix Box
Other TV's successfully connecting wirelessly to system
only problem - I had to reconnect all of my Sonos devices to the new network manually.
I had similar idea, but linksys velop instead of google nest. I had similar success with
Nokia Fiber Modem > T3200 in bridge mode + wifi turned off (I found some smart devices were still getting confused and dropping WiFi connections)
T3200 > Velop Parent Node
Velop > Switch > Wired LAN connections
Velop > Child Nodes > Wireless LAN connections
All Cat 6+ cabling
I'm on the fibre 150 plan
The issue I still have Is both LAN and WLAN speed tests both won't exceed 100 Mbps (~95 is the max I get)? Anyone have any idea on what is limiting it? I've tried testing at both peak and non-peak (ie. middle of the night) and it's always between 75-95 mbps (using fast.com site for testing).
Hi,
I was just looking to put in place a setup exactly like you did with disabling the Telus WiFi radio and using a Linksys Velop Mesh unit for serving up the wifi instead, and I noticed the problems you mentioned about the LAN and WLAN speed limitations.
I was wondering if there were any answers found as to resolving that issue. If yes, were there certain settings that had to be changed on either or both of the Telus T3200 and/or Linksys Velop units?
Anyways, any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance for any thoughts or solutions.
cheers
Bill
