Nighthawk CAX30 no bridge mode?
Hi all, just got a Nighthawk CAX30 and I want to run it as a modem and router only. I have a Unifi WiFi system plugged into the router and therefore need to put it in bridge mode. I have searched for...
The CAX30 does have a bridge mode, though I don't remember exactly which cection it is located in the advanced menu.
One thing to consider is your unifi setup. Are you using unifi devices that have their own router, or are you just using their APs?
If using their APs, then you will need to leave the router function enable on the CAX30. If you are using one of their other devices, such as their UDM devices, then the CAX30 will need to be placed in its bridge mode.
PS, as a side note, if using the Unifi dream machine pro, the 8 port switch that is built in, uses an internal 1GbE connection to the rest of the UDM device, those even with LACP those devices will top out at 1gigabit overall throughput when communicating with resources outside of the 8 port switch, thus if using one, it is best to use the 10GbE connections to connect to a subsequent switch.
