I have the following:
1.ONT (modem for my fibre broadband)
2.DLink DVG-N5402sp Gateway (Router+Voip) [used currently for wifi and digital voice for home phone]
3.New routers just bought= 2x RT-AC66u
4.16 Ports switch by TP-Link (unmanaged)
5.various device such as Printer, NAS, Apple TV, PS4 and PCs
The ONT and Gateway is provided by my ISP. My ISP is Starhub in Singapore. By default, they work as a pair, so the ONT can't work without that specific gateway and vice versa. I am currently seeking approval to switch to direct ONT so i can use any router.
I got 2 Asus RT-AC66u I bought to provide wifi to my house. I am going to deactivate the DLink Gateway.
Currently, the switch is connected to the DLink Gateway, where it is connected to the TP-Link switch, to provide wired connections to those devices I listed.
This is my proposed setup, I do not know whether this works or not:
ONT -> Switch ->multiple Lan devices and Asus router
If this setup is workable:
1.How do i connect up the 2 Asus routers together as i am going to use the same SSID.
2.Will connecting directly to the modem cause any issues or problems
3.How to configure the routers
Other setups can be given, but i am asking for advice on how to wire up and configure this setup.
note from my ISP: With direct ONT, the existing DLink gateway can no longer be used
Thanks
