Advice asked for home network setup
Hello, Hope some of you in this community can give me some advice on how to best setup my network. I have a cable modem from my ISP which is set to bridge mode A Linksys VELOP sytem with m...
Edit: I rebooted everything. First the Velop, then the PE and then the E.
Now they got different 192.168.1.X numbers assigned and I can log into them.
(to find out that link aggreggation is not possible with the PE ;-)
Leaves my question to: what is better: to connect the switches to the Velop, or connect the Velop to a switch.
The Smart Managed Plus and Pro switches might booting and timeout much faster than the Velop might do - and the dhcpd will run into a timeout. Instead of retrying, these swiches fall back to the the default IP config if DHCP does not succeed. Configure a fixed IP config to these switches.
Afraid, I have no idea about the second port on the Velop behaviour in router and/or in AP mode.
