Connecting RAX120 and MR60 routers on single network
Hi all, hoping someone can help or guide me please. I have quite a large house and want to try and get the best out of my netgear equipment. I have an RAX120 router and an MK62 mesh system. ...
What I'd recomned is going:
RAX120 (router mode)------->MK63 system (access point mode)
Putting the mk63 in access point mode fixes the double nat issue from running both systems. It leaves the rax controlling the hdcp/nat.
But you'd still have 2 networks because the RAX isn't a mesh router.
What you'd do is use a different ssid for the RAX and make sure its on different wireless channels than the MK63 system to prevent interference.
The RAX will have faster speeds while close to it but the MK system should provide more coverage because its a mesh system. It just won't have the same peak speeds.
I have setup my system like that before going RAX200---->orbi RBK53 system.
I'd put my devices needing max speeds on the RAX and the devices at a distance or just needing regular speeds on the orbi.
