Hi All,
Trying to setup A3 as a mesh with SaskTel Fibre. They supply a locked actiontec router which connects to the ONT (Fibre terminal). Currently have all the A3's as access points using some old R45, but would much prefer to replace the locked router with a meshed A3 system.
The only information I can find is someone else with a similar problem and then "created a new vlan 1000 with 3 ports; port 22, 23, 24. Port 24 is tagged and goes to the ONT. Port 23 is also tagged and goes to the actiontec (all my tvs run off of this via coax). Port 22 untagged goes to my linux firewall with dual gigabit cards."
Is it possible to do this with the A3, to setup a VLAN and tag ports to an ONT? This is right a the limit of my understanding - so apologies if I have anything wrong!
The only other option I can think of is to use the A3 as a meshed router after the actiontec, but a few disadvantages i) need all the LAN port on both routers on the same network and ii) control and performance of the actiontec, iii) I would eventually like the simpliest system, and just get a gigabit switch to replace the actiontec.
Thanks for any help.
