With all the time at home I am trying to complete a backhaul project and wondering about this setup:
Currently I have dsl (slow) internet modem going to rt-ac3100 with 4 rt-ac68 as nodes. One of the rt-ac68 is hooked up via ethernet backhaul the other 3 are wireless nodes.
I got two peplink balance 30 free from the throw away pile at work one is a bpl-031 and one is a bpl30. I believe I could use one of these as a switch (I have never used a switch before).
So proposed setup is dsl to the rt-ac3100 - I will leave the one backhaul rt-ac68 connected as is. I will take a line off of the rt-ac3100 and plug it into the WAN port of the peplink and then plug in the other 3 rt-ac68 into ports 1,2,3 of the peplink and wire out.
Will that work? Will the system recognize the aimesh backhaul? Has anyone used these peplinks?
I know the peplink is EOL but as it is behind my modem and router i am hoping it will be safe - any comment on that?
