MR1100 admin -> Settings

 

  • IP Passthrough: ON

  • 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.
