Orbi 750 as cable connected wifi extender.
Hi, I moved to a new place with ethernet cables going from a central room into all rooms. I plan to use a switch and put my orbi devices into different rooms, all connected to this switch, for wifi...
You should go
modem--->router---->switch/satellites
Otherwise if you're going modem/ont-----switch-----orbi (in router mode) the devices connected to the switch might be getting a public ip address from your ISP and not one of the private one from the router. Plus its less secure.
Otherwise, should I do
- ISP
- Modem
- Orbi main wan
- Switch
- Orbi satellite
- Orbi satellite
- Other stuff
?
Not sure which should I do. Please suggest. Thanks in advance!
