Im intending to connect my switch to the ONT in my utility closet So i have wired access in my rooms & then connect my router (set as access point) to provide better wifi coverage to my master bedroom.
Initially i thought of placing the router in my living room however it seems quite far from the bedrooms esp my master bedroom. So im now thinking of putting the router in one of my bedrooms instead so its more centralised.
Just wanted to confirm if my understanding is right. Since my router is set as access point & NOT as repeater, there is no worries about the wifi from the ONT being weak right? I fact if i recall correctly i was told to turn off the ONT's wifi to avoid mixed signals & just use the router's wifi. Is this right?
Lastly, pls bare with a networking noob, but since my router is standalone & not connect to my iMac, how do i check if there are firmware updates & then update?
