MR1100

Hello,

 

Looking for help getting a Mesh60 system to work with a MR1100 Cell Modem.  I've followed everything I can find and still cannot get the Mesh to communicate with the MR1100 sucessfully.  I cannot find any info on compatability.  If anyone has done this or if not, can advise me on best extenders to make my home connections stronger, I would appreciate it.

    MR1100 admin -> Settings

     

    • IP Passthrough: ON
    • DHCP: Disabled
    • Ethernet Standby: Disabled

    Plug the Ethernet port to the router e.g. MR60 WAN/Internet port, and restart the MR60.

     

    Configure the MR60 Internet connection for "Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses."

     

    Have fun!

    Your Mesh60 system is configured already to be a mesh? No need to consider crappy Wi-Fi extenders.
