Mesh system fttc help please.

[#1]

Hi any help/advice greatly appreciated.

We have fttc, there is a TP link media system that connects Ethernet to each room, currently using an Archer VR2800 router.

I would like to install a mesh system to connect to the media system, then add mesh devices via Ethernet in appropriate rooms.

Is this possible with all mesh systems, do I use the Archer in bridge mode or Hub2?

Cheers

Jeff.

@Jeffwd1 welcome to the community

What is the TP link media system you refer to? model number would be helpful.

My thinking is you are referring to a switch which needs to support 1000Mbps for best speeds

Some mesh system do support ethernet backhual connection rather than wireless, you would need to check the specification.

For simplicity I would use the Hub two in bridge mode, the change is made in >Advanced Settings >Broadband >Bridging

Set to YES.

You connect the master mesh units WAN port to LAN 1,2 or 3 of the Hub Two, NOT the Hubs WAN port
