At&t should allow you to buy your own modem. Ask them for a list of devices that are compatible with their network. This will allow you to stay upto date. Most isps never upgrade devices until they stop working. By this time these devices will have many vulnerabilities that don't get patched. This will put you in charge of maintaining these devices.

And you were absolutely correct on the ease of setup...I did it yesterday (before seeing this video of yours) and I was AMAZED how easy it was. I kinda had a basic understanding of networks, but didn't really know how to set one up...the TP Link was a "piece of cake" (now if their smart plugs were as easy...Am returning a 4 pack that 3 of 4 wouldn't pair and going with ones that are "Matter" protocol.

One thing to note, The AT&T box is a gateway (modem & router built in that's why it has 4 ports) Unless you have somesort of passthru / bridge setup you have a doubleNAT which can cause with the TP-Link unless you put them in access point mode.

@futurecactus Жыл бұрын

I'm not disagreeing with you but I've set up double NAT lots of times with Decos without issue where there's no bridge mode on the ISP modem/router, I put the Deco into the ISP router DMZ and that seems to mitigate any problems. That said, I've never done it where outside access to a server is required and I always avoid it if there's another way.

Interesting. I don't seem to have any issues plugging mesh networks in the back on the cable modem. I currently have 3 separate mesh systems plugged in and they all SEEM to be working ok. However, that doesn't mean i'm doing it correctly. :) i'll take a look at the settings and see if i can enable a bridge mode.

So you don't use the cable modem/router from AT&T to do any heavy lifting routing, instead having the Deco and extended switch to power everything? or you use both? because I can see you have things (security device?) plugged into the AT&T router as well as the using the massive switch too. Would that be too much signal hopping between two routers?

Overall the video was good, however that At&t box is a RG (Residential Gateway) which a Router, Wireless Access Point, and Switch built into one device. Some RG’s also have DSL and/or Cable modem build into them. At&t uses either DSL or a Fiber connection and not cable. FYI - your At&t RG already has firewall, dhcp and wireless access point built in. Please make sure you flat bridge your At&T RG by turn off the dhp server and wireless access point to avoid dhcp conflicts on your network and unnecessary wireless interference from having two wireless access point’s running at the same time.

@nanais007 When you put router into bridge mode it usually, depending on router, disables all but 1 of the lan ports. Put a device on port 1 login to router and put it back. If you want to add another router to extend your network just plug the second one in LAN-LAN and disable DHCP. If you want a second network, you want LAN-WAN, give it an ip outside of the dhcp of your main router and set the main router ip as its gateway. Then Set up dhcp for the other Subnet. The issue is you have to deal with port forward etc with the latter option and causes double nat ing. Personally unless you need a second network just go for the lan-lan and disable dhcp it causes less issues.

Australia, with our glass fibre network nationwide. My ISP (TPG) fire several years provided the latest router modem, which connects to Federal government's glass fibre network. The ISP router modem had fast obvious WiFi, allows UpTo four extra RJ14 cable devices, plus one USB cable device. This USB cable device could be an externally 5v powered hub, with portable USB drives, to be shared on the home network. This two bedroom unit can be faster sometimes with another modern router, cable connected to the ISP modem router. However all the three modem routers never inbuilt WiFi network links. The government's router only had slow and limited 4G WiFi. The other two modem routers offer also the much faster 5G WiFi networks.

is it possible to take a google nest wifi , or wifi pro, and using a switch, add a non googl POE powered WAP wireless access point for ceiling mount? Asking because it would be better than having to also put an outlet into the ceiling, but not sure how it will work.

Thank you, I appreciate your content. I want to learn all about networking. First, I want to begin by setting up and securing my home network. Next, I will like to work with hardware and software tools, troubleshooting the network; this too seems interesting and fun. Do you have a full complete network course, that will cover this information? I came across your (8)videos (HNWB) playlist tonight. Again amazing, excellent job. Looking forward completing tomorrow.

If I have a router that already does wi-fi from the ISP do I have to shut off the wi-fi coming out of the router if I hook up the Decos? I feel like I should only be broadcasting one wireless network at a time.

Would I be able to use different pods? My ISP provided me some pods that is basically the router but my home came with eero pods. Can I connect those also or would that make things not work?
