best settings for a home that has 3 routers and I have an XR1000 v1


Recommended Posts

it's hard to explain but I have 3 wifi 6 routers including the xr1000v1 but I have my xr1000 connected to a wifi 6 booster but I can't seem to get a high download speed and the Internet plan I'm on is 940 mbps. I wonder if I can set the xr 1000 to bridge mode so I can get higher Ethernet speeds

Explain it like this modem > XR1000 > WiFi booster > XR1000 > All devices etc. I can't really advise without knowing the layout, you could draw it if that's easier and provide a picture.

There isn't a bridge mode but there is AP mode, essentially shuts down all router functions and just makes it provide WiFi. If you're doing a speed test at the bottom of the setup and there are devices connected to all different points in the setup then your speeds probably will be lower because everything above it can take bandwidth away from it

so my main modem is downstairs in the basement then my wifi 6 booster is in the second floor which is the living room and the kitchen and then upstairs at the third floor there's another wifi 6 booster in the main bedroom and then a wifi 6E extender in the guest bedroom with the XR1000 connected to the wifi 6E extender by Ethernet

did not mean to duplicate that question Lol. what can I do to get just Ethernet only and can I disable the WiFi on the xr1000 and just only use Ethernet?

Are you able to move the modem to the second floor and then connect the XR1000 to that? This would then provide more central coverage for WiFi and also allow you to connect all your devices/boosters to the XR1000 so that it can then control your entire network and you can benefit from its features.

This is my setup. 

ONT (full Fiber) > XR1000 > XR500 and 2x EX7700. 

XR1000 (Mina router)

  • Lan Port 1 > XR500 - AP mode (Main  WIFI and Guest WIFI)
  • Lan Port 2 > EX7700 (1) - AP (Main WIFI)
  • Lan Port 3 > EX7700 (2) - AP (Guest WIFI (not in use at the moment))

XR500

  • Lan Port 1 > PS5
  • Lan Port 2 > TV 
  • Lan Port 3 > SonoS Beam (speaker)

EX7700 (1)

  • Lan Port > Son's PS5

EX700 (2) (Not in use only use to extend Guest WIFI)

  • Lan Port > Nothng Connected.

 

The issue with this set up in this Tree formate it shows devices offline or on the LAN even tho they are online connected wirelessly to XR500 or EX7700,

That's because technically the 500/EX are connected via ethernet to the XR1000 and so it can't determine how else the devices connected to those are connected
