I already do this but don’t have any problems with DHCP. I do want to upgrade to MESH but my setup has been working well.
Nice walkthrogh! What kind of file transfer speeds do you get with something like smb/cifs?
I suppose if you need a highspeed connection then yeah good idea otherwise try running a cable or using a good quality homeplug set. You should still get a DHCP ip from your router via the bridge, maybe it was being slow? I just keep important stuff static so it always works.
I prefer mesh networks now
Yeah, wondering how your testing on mesh networks compared to this. Using an Eero and like it for the most part, but not being able to assign bands to devices is a big issue. Future video!
wireless…the connection of last resort. just get a Ubiquiti WAP and be done with it.
Love how you point to a 3200acm when you say old wifi router.
I’m sorry, but isn’t Wireless Ethernet still …Ethernet? Ergo Wireless Ethernet speeds will be by definition be Ethernet speeds.
What about Ping times?
The bridge is 2.4 ghz or in the 5ghz band?
Your pfsense router should be handing DNS.
first thing i do is bulldoze the stock firmware and install DD-WRT or Open-WRT. That’s me though. I also use ubiquity pros in the house.
dude you have a 10 gbps network card in your pc so this wont work as well for people using a standerd gigalbit card on their motherboards
Is there a way to set up a diy mesh style network where phones and laptops will automatically switch to stronger signals based on where you are?
This is why I’m subscribed. Love those step by step tutorials.
