Put main and guest wireless on same subnet?
The RB850 seems to default to 192.168.1.1 for the main wireless and 192.168.2.1 for the guest wireless... I want to use the guest wireless to connect non WIFI6 compatible devices to my network while...
Thanks for all that info! I thought the backhaul connection between mesh nodes might operate at higher throughput and other things like beam forming, etc... but if it's just the authentication protocol I'll just keep it at WiFi 5 and have all my devices able to talk to each other. Thanks!
The wireless backhaul operates at higher speeds and connection rates. Why there max connection rate is 2400Mpbs. The front haul on the higher model Orbis are the same. Lower end the front haul is slightly slower.
Guest Network will never be or should never be on the same subnet as the main wifi, would defeat it's purpose that was explained.
