What is the optimal setup for network speed? I have these devices:
Comcast Xfinity TC8305c modem/router, a RT-AC66U router, and a TP Link TL-SG1008D switch.
Am I best using the cable/modem in bridge mode, the RT-AC66U in bridge mode, or other method.
Currently, none are in bridge mode, and I have the cable modem connected to the RT-AC66U
"internet" port, and the switch connected to the RT-AC66U on one of the ethernet ports.
