EX7000 in AP Mode to L2 Managed Switch
I'd like to set up an EX7000 in AP mode connected to an L2 Managed Switch which is connected to an R6300v2 (DHCP). The switch is connected to various computers, two NAS's, an OPPO, an AVR and HDTVs. ...
The EX7000 should be able to support all you want. I don’t believe that you need to set its IP statically; it should obtain an IP from the DHCP server, so you could use Address Reservation in the R6300 when you have identified the IP allocated to the EX7000. Access to the EX7000 admin would be at the IP address allocated e.g. http://192.168.1.x though the URL mywifiext.net (or whatever it currently is) may still work for wireless devices that access the LAN via the EX7000.
Is there any specific reason for turning off the R6300 radios? The only advantage I can see in doing that is if there are no other wireless networks in the area and you want to hit the maximum link rate for the EX7000 by having it operate on its own.
