I set up the 88 as the master and the 3100 as the meshed Node. The 3100 is hooked up through an ethernet run from downstairs media room to an upstairs office. The 3100 is placed where it will have broad reach from upstairs. Couple questions since this my first time setting up a meshed network.
1. Can I use the 4 ports on the back of the 3100 (wired slave) for ethernet connections or will that router try and assign new ip addresses and mess up the network? I had my PC and Printer hooked up to it and it seemed to make other connections drop. Could have been some other settings too...
2. How can I tell if the meshed router is actually picking up and connecting devices? Will it appear they are all on the AC88U or is there a way to tell if the the 3100 Slave is actually connecting devices??
