Re: Turning off T3200M Wifi and using instead a Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 Mesh System
Yes, that’s pretty well how it looks to be. Anyways, it all seems to be working now and the only other thing aside from the things I listed before , was to put the Linksys Velop AX4200 into Bridge mode so all the devices on the network could be seen together5.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Turning off T3200M Wifi and using instead a Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 Mesh System
Nvrm.....solved my own question by trying it out and it was quite easy with this new Linksys unit. Key things: 1. Disable Actiontec wifi by logging into the Telus admin page at 192.168.1.254 using a computer connected with an ethernet cable to the modem 2. connect the ethernet cable to the Internet port on the Linksys unit and not one of the LAN ethernet ports 3. download the Linksys mobile config app (for iOS or Android) & use that to do the Linksys setup but follow the directions carefully on the app & DONE I have 2 Optik TV units and the above process did not affect them and no bridging or any other fancy network setup or configuration changes needed So in the final end, the Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 Mesh System process was a breeze and all the WiFi 6 devices can connect at optimum speeds and at much better distances without any performance hits on the connection speeds.5.5KViews0likes2CommentsTurning off T3200M Wifi and using instead a Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 Mesh System
Hello, I was looking to do the above and noticed another user posting difficulty with their LAN and WLAN speeds after putting in place a similar setup (see user's posting at bottom) Can you advise on the configuration settings that should be used on both the T3200M and Linksys AX4200 to ensure the optimal performance? I'm on a Telus Gigabit Internet fibre connection. I am somewhat savvy with the concept of what is being done but need some detailed guidance in the best settings and method to connecting the T3200M & AX4200 together. Thanks kindly in advance for any assistance that can be provided. cheers....Bill :-)) User posting from: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/T3200M-Bridge-mode-and-Google-Mesh-WIFI-Setup/m-p/105089#M24412 BobtheBuilder 04-18-2020 01:26 PM Just Moved In 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).Solved5.6KViews0likes3CommentsRe: T3200M Bridge mode and Google Mesh WIFI Setup
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 Bill20KViews0likes0Comments
