connect to mesh wifi system
Can i connect a mesh wifi system (possibly orbi or possibly another brand) to the C6300 modem/router? Or do i need just a stand alone modem?
You can connect it to a modem/router combo device. I have.
options:
1. leave the modem/router in router mode. place the mesh system in AP (access point) mode. Just make sure to seperate out the wireless channels on the combo device from the mesh system so they don't interfere. I'd also name them different.
2. You can disable the router portion of the combo device if you want to run the mesh system in router mode. downside? it disables the wireless/routing functions. Leaves it only a modem in function.
