Questions about bridging my ISP's Pace Gateway
Hi. I'd search this, but I'm not sure what to search for. I am by no means a networking guru. So this might make me sound like an idiot. I bought the R7000 to solve a problem with having two xbox ...
Your setup looks fine. Like I said, leave DHCP enabled on the Pace. Even though you have nothing else plugged into it besides the R7000, if you turn off DHCP on the Pace, your R7000 won't get an Internet IP address and it will stop working.
The Pace's DHCP assigns addresses to devices directly connected to it. Likewise with the R7000. They are independent and do not conflict with each other.
Ideally the Pace is in "Bridge Mode" and the r7000 is in router mode. OR Leave Pace in router mode and use the r7000 as AP in AP MODE.
What was the reason for buying the r7000? Was it for WIFI coverage or routing?
I got the R7000 primarily because we have two xbox one consoles on a DSL line. Nothing we tried with the Pace junk worked when both consoles were playing online multiplayer.
The wifi was an issue yes, but I've disabled wifi on the Pace and it's a lot better now.
