C6900 Bridge Mode w Velop Mesh
I have a c6900 which replaced the gateway provided by Xfinity. Looking at options for mesh wifi and saw a sale on the Velop system. As part of the set up, I would have to put the C6900 into brid...
@the previous comment suggesting having them all (c6900 and Velop) on the same SSID which i would think may cause issues.
maybe you're talking about the comment from HumphreysDean with the link spam/scam in it?
You don't want the c6900 and velop to use the same ssid as the c6900 isn't a mesh network and isn't from the same manufacturer. Just seperate the 2 ssids from the c6900 and velop
Thanks!
The Netgear Orbi system is only a little more expensive than the Velop and the Orbi main unit has 3 Ethernet ports which I think would give me everything i need.
the C6900 in bridge mode and plug thr TV, PS4, and Orbi satelite node directly into the main Orbi. That would give me one mesh network throughout the house, and hopefully better connection upstairs with the secondary node connected to the ethernet on the otherside of the house.
really appreciate the help.
