I have a fiber modem from my carrier and a dual nose XT8 mesh system. Node 1 WAN port is connected to one of the modem LAN port. Node 2 is connected to node 1 through dedicated wireless backbone. I want the mesh to be my only network, cables and wireless: I have a few wireless devices (phones, camera, thermostat, notebook...) and three cabled devices (amplifier, Google tv box, satellite box). All cabled devices are connected to Node 1.
The modem has no dedicated bridge mode, so in order to have it act as such, I configured as follows:
Modem: wifi off, firewall off, DNS off, DHCP limited to just one IP (192.168.1.2) that is bit NATted and in DMZ associated to Node 1 (with IP 192.108.50.1)
Node 1: wifi on, firewall on, DNS on (Google), DHCP range from 192.168.50.2 to .xxx
Is this the correct way?
So far works but probably I can do things better?
Thanks
