Possible new Modem and 3 routers
I am pretty new to this and just want guidance but want to go with Netgear. I am pretty handy. Know plumbing, electrical and all that stuff. What I dont understand is all the stuff involved in setti...
Use the first router in router mode and the rest in Access Point mode. If you run them all in router mode, you'll create a Triple NAT problem. Since you can pull cables, Access Point mode is the way to go
Mr. Microchip 8,
Yes I have hardwires so I can use them. No worry there. Just a question, with 3 routers and two as access points, which routers would you reccommend from Netgear? Also, do I need even have a switch in the sytem?
The only downside to using a router and access points is you won't have seamless roaming. if you already have the routers, then its worth setting up but if you haven't purchased the system yet, then I'd look at orbi or the nighthawk mesh. Both work great with wired backhauls and allow the seamless roaming.
