Guys, I'm thinking of migrating from current Asus AC88U (main router) & N66U (AP in room) to Velop mesh.
A few questions:
1. I'm migrating from Singtel to M1. Do I still need the AC88U as Velop does not support VLAN? I believe we only need it for Singtel and not required for M1.
2. As I have many devices (2xNAS, TV, PS4, printer, etc) connected wired to the AC88U, can I put a switch to the second port on the Velop to connect all these? I'm currently connecting all these to the 8 ports on the AC88U.
3. Can the Ethernet backhaul use this switch as well? I have Cat 6 cable already laid between all the rooms.
If you are using M1, velop can be connected straight to the ONT for M1 and does not require any more vlan settings.
In this set up, it doesn’t matter where you connect the switch to, doesn’t matter which node is the switch connected to, as Long as a port is available, you can connect the nodes together, or to expand the ports via a switch.
