C7000v2 and google wifi: How do I get more than 1 LAN port to work when in bridge mode?
i currently have 3 of the 4 lan ports on the c7000 used with 2 remote bridges and a security camera hard drive. Plugging in a google wifi would use the 4th port. When i did that with my existing ne...
Yes, that is the answer. I plugged the Google WIFI into 1 port of the C7000v2. I then plugged a switch into the 1 port of the Google Wifi. I was then able to plug in as many other Lan connections as I needed and everything worked fine. Still not happy with the strength of the overall Google wifi signal. I have 250 MG coming into the house and have played with all sorts of placement. The only way really get speed is to have these plugged into wired Lan connections, which could not do everywhere. I could get 110 MG or so but not even close to 250. I finally returned the whole mess as I was aleady getting 100 MG farely well in most places in the house with the existing router, without Google WIFI.
You may just need a simple switch to solve this issue if you are needing more Lan ports.
