Nighthawk Wi-Fi 6 mesh with 2 MR60 routers
I own a large home with 3 floors and I have Ethernet CAT6 wiring from each floor down to my Broadband AT&T router. I wanted a single reliable and strong WiFi SSID through my whole house so I purchase...
How do you disable the router and DHCP server, and just pass through your own DHCP services and LAN through the LAN port? The MR 60 insists on being connected to the Internet through the “Internet” port and the ONLY documented way of configuring the thing is by using the Nighthawk app, which has zero manual configuration options. I should’ve just bought another unifi AC AP pro and called it good, but Costco made this seem like a simple Wi-Fi extender. sigh
put your mr60 in access point mode. i have a pfsense firewall setup in my home which is my dhcp server, i set up my mesh network into access point mode. the dhcp is passed through the access point without issue. also if your going to do this plug the ethernet cable from your switch into the lan port of the mr60 and not the wan port.
