After trading in my Zyxel modem for an Eero Pro 6E, my Netgear Nighthawk R8000P router stopped working properly. I’m using Altafiber fiber internet, with a Cat 6 Ethernet cable running directly from the ONT.
I need help figuring out the correct setup between the ONT, Eero Pro 6E, and R8000P. I also use this connection for Forex Trading, so I’d like to make sure the network is stable and reliable.
Any advice on the correct wiring, bridge/router mode, or settings would be greatly appreciated.
