Re: Telus Wi-Fi Hub re-enabling wifi despite being in full bridge mode?! DHCP chaos.
Sorry for reviving this old thread but thank you kevhawk! For the last two and a half months I've been struggling to get the Arcadyan Telus Wi-Fi Hub to let me use my own router in bridge mode. For some reason it insisted on being a DHCP server on all ports regardless of bridge mode settings, preventing my own router from accessing the internet *at all* and forcing me to hard factory reset it every time I tried to enable "full" (all ports) bridge mode. At least I think that's what was going wrong, either way I eventually gave up and used it as my network's router for a few months (ugh). Finally last night I got fed up and somehow by the right combination of search terms, I came across this thread. Ordered the recommended TP-Link MC220L and got it set up today. It works flawlessly so far and now I can use my eero mesh Wi-Fi system without the pain of the Arcadyan hub acting as my router! Thank you for the clear recommendation and instructions for how to use the MC220L with the fibre cable coming into my house (I had no idea the SFP module came out from the Telus hub)! Latency and speed are just as good as they were before (150/150 plan).20KViews0likes0Comments
