Re: T3200M Bridge mode and Google Mesh WIFI Setup
I cannot as their networks are separate - I suppose that I could if I logged onto the t3200's wifi spot or plugged an ethernet cable into one of the other ports- but I have two tv boxes that are wireless and they need that service active.29KViews0likes3CommentsRe: T3200M Bridge mode and Google Mesh WIFI Setup
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.30KViews1like9CommentsT3200M 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 (both wired) that cannot be found by devices that are connected to the t3200 wifi. I have an old Netgear wifi point attached to the network and can successfully access the server and the printer from that point. For some reason the t3200M is messing with network discoverability - in any event the signal coverage is too weak at the other end of my place and upstairs. I have a google nest mesh wifi that I'm going to set up and am looking for some best practice advice before I start - two of my TV boxes are wireless so I understand that I need to keep the WIFI radio turned on. I've read a lot of posts here and it seems that there are two approaches: 1. Place the T3200M into bridge mode and connect port one to the WAN port on the Nest router and then keep the Optic box plugged into on of the ports 2-4. 2. Connect a gigabit switch to the ONT and then connect the T3200M (not bridged) to one of the ports on the switch and then Nest router to one of the other ports on that same switch. I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments here.Solved30KViews0likes19Comments
