Re: T3200M Bridge mode and Google Mesh WIFI Setup
Just thought I'd chime in to say everything worked well when I plugged it all in based on my above methodology. Two separate networks, WiFi ssid's different to keep them straight- Optik boxes on one network, the rest of my LAN on the Google WiFi network.29KViews0likes2CommentsRe: T3200M Bridge mode and Google Mesh WIFI Setup
I'm following this as well because I'm trying to do exactly the same thing. If you simply plug in the Google/Nest WiFi into another port and create a whole new wireless network, that new network will have it's own Subnet. So your main router will be something like 192.168.1.* and your Google WiFi will be something like 192.168.68.* (that's what mine was assigned by DHCP from the T3200m). Yes, anything that connects to your new WiFi network will be able to access the internet (and speeds/latency won't be impacted) they won't be able to access the rest of your LAN on the 192.168.1.* subnet. My plan is to do this: port 1 of T3200M -> goog wifi -> your_new_network [including wired devices connected to the LAN port on goog wifi via a switch AND wireless devices on your new ssid] port 2 of T3200M -> optik box 1 port 3 of T3200M -> optik box 2 Disable WiFi on the T3200M, rename goog wifi to the old ssid (reuse the same password) and you should have your new devices pick it all up. I'll be testing this on Sunday- limited access to my modem as it's in our basement suite during COVID-19 🙂29KViews0likes11Comments
