I just got AT&T Fiber installed at my home and would like to know what my best options are for optimal WiFi.
-My house is a 1-story 2,000 sqft home.
Thanks again and I appreciate the help in advanced. I am very new around here but this forum is the best, I have learned so much already.
-My house is a 1-story 2,000 sqft home.
- AT&T modem/router is in garage (Arris BGW210-700)
- House is wired with Cat5e ethernet with jacks in every room and a switch in the living room.
- Main work/wifi areas are office and living room.
- What would be the best setup for optimal wifi in the house? Should I just go with a good traditional gigabit router in the living room? Or just get a mesh router in living room with ability to add another if I need more coverage?
- How should my setup be with regards to the AT&T modem/router and the new router?
- but should it be set as an IP passthrough? Will the router ethernet ports still work going if its put in this mode? What is the benefit to putting it in IP passthrough vs not? As I have connected a router in my living room without activating IP Passthrough and the router works on its own. Does IP Passthrough allow better performance?
- I've read that AT&T Fiber doesnt allow full bridge mode? What does this mean and is that an issue with this type of setup?
