Hi guys! Long time lurker here I just got a very sweet deal for 1Gbit internet access. Problem is that my Netgear R7000 (on Toastman's Tomato) does not have the muscle to push 1 Gbit without enabling CTF. But, with CTF I lose a lot of features... So I thought that I'd buy an Edgerouter Lite, and my home network will look something like this:
Edgerouter: WAN, DHCP, dynamic DNS, set DNS server address, firewall - in short, all the "router" things
R7000: serving ONLY as a dumb wireless/wired access point. No routing, no firewall etc.
All wired and wireless devices will connect to the R7000. My own wireless and wired devices will be on 192.168.2.1, and the guest wifi devices will be on 192.168.3.1
Is the above plan feasible(as in the Edgerouter will handle ALL routing tasks, and the role of the R7000 is serving wifi and provide LAN ports for wired devices). Thanks for the help!!
