if ONR can assign fixed IP to NAS, actually suits me as well.
in this case it does not matter to use ONT or ONR ?

Local fixed ip is small matter, you can even do it on the NAS itself. It's remote access to the NAS that's troubesome if you have ONR

Two wireless SSIDs, they can work together, but not compatible as a mesh.

Can explain more how to do about it ?
also, correct me if i am wrong, 2 SSID meaning if my house 10,000 sq meter end to end, and 1 place HB710 in one end and linkys in the other end when i walk to the one end, will use HB710 and if i walk to the other end will use linksys mesh ?

hahahha, i wish, the size is just an example only. that aside, i am glad my understanding of the 2 SSID is correct.

1. I am not so sure you understand what I was saying or not.

When I mention two SSIDs, I mean to say two independant networks, one from the HB710, the other from the Linksys Velop mesh.

The network configuration will be like the following.

ONT --> HB710 (main router) --> Ethernet cable --> Main Linksys Velop MX5300 (better to configure in AP mode) --- wireless backhaul (say one wall in between) --- second Linksys Velop MX5300 and two or three Linksys Velop WHW03 units

If you use the HB710 SSID, you will have pretty good speed when near to the HB710, then the speed will go down when you move away from it. If the distance is too far, then it may drop the connection and probably switch to the slave Linksys MX5300. No seamless roaming.

If you use the Linksys Velop SSID, and if the second Velop MX5300 is placed properly, then you can have seamleass roaming when you move away from the main MX5300 and walk towards the second Velop MX5300.

2. If you do not want to have two wireless networks, then you have to use the following methods.

a) remove the HB710, but then you are using the 5Gbps sercice as 1Gbps.
ONT --> Main Linksys Velop MX5300 (as main router) --- wireless backhaul (say one wall in between) --- second Linksys Velop MX5300 and two or three Linksys Velop WHW03 units

b) remove all the Velop units and change them to HB710.
ONT --> HB710 (main router) -- wireless backhaul (say one wall in between) --- second and 3rd HB710 units (or more units, depending on your floor plan and placement).

The first HB710 will be free. The two HB710 will cost you S$192 x 2 = S$384.

3. If you want better help, as mentiined before, please post your floor plan with details the location of the FTP, the current placement of the Singtel ONT, Asus RT-AC5300 and the two Linsys Velop MX5300 and the two/three Linksys Velop WHW03 nodes.

It seems to me you have a rather large flat which needs so many Linksys triband mesh nodes.

I forgot which one, but might be when I was on ONT as I tried to look for MAC address to tie to an IP on the GPON ONR provided by ST, but couldn't find this option. I remember I saw it before and I tied my MAC addresses to a specific IP for printer and NAS.

Anyway, I just set the IP for NAS on the NAS itself and it still works for me. I reserved a small range for DHCP, so my devices which require an IP out of this range is safe and can be set.

If you’re upgrading to 10Gbps, here’s what you should look at:

1. ONT – Make sure it supports 10Gbps (check with M1).
2. Router – Your current Linksys MX5300 only supports 1Gbps, so you’ll need a router with 10Gbps WAN/LAN ports.
3. NAS – Check if your QNAP NAS has a 10GbE port. If not, you might need a 10GbE expansion card.
4. Cabling – Use Cat6a or Cat7 LAN cables to handle full 10Gbps speeds.

Your setup is good for IP assignment, but for 10Gbps, upgrading the router and checking your NAS/network gear is key.

just normal old one. 1st time buy 3 WHW03, then after few years buy 2 MX5300, which is enough for usage., but since already have the old one just use it.
to future proof i might just buy 2 more HB710 later.

ok. later will try after getting the new plan

3.. using TS464-4Bay = i checked the 10Gb Ethernet is optional via PCIe expansion card....
i normally transfer files to NAS wirelessly, will changing the10Gb ethernet have any changes in how fast the transfer wirelessly ?
4. Noted.

 

[Techcome2011]

No, upgrading to 10Gb Ethernet via PCIe will not improve your wireless transfer speed. Your file transfer speed over Wi-Fi is determined by your router’s wireless standard, network congestion, and the NAS’s Wi-Fi connection (if applicable). A 10Gb Ethernet connection benefits only wired transfers. If you want faster wireless transfers, consider upgrading your router and client devices to Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E.

so, already sign up with M1 as they are in the area now for 10gbps with Asus Zen Wifi BT10 ( 1 pair ).
problem :
1. Asus router using 192.168.50.1
2. Qnap Nas IP 192.168.1.200
( Qnap wired LAN to Asus BT10 ) and cannot login to 192.168.1.200
how do i change Qnap NAS IP ? soft reset ?

Configure router to use 192.168.1.1/24 range, no need to complicate things.

Works like charm. many thanks
