MR600 Bridge mode
MR600 Bridge mode
I'm connecting my Archer MR600 to my pfsence box and trying to use it as a 4G+ modem only. I cannot find a bridge mode in the settings anywhere, after a quick search it is mentioned that TPLink are not making a bridge mode for this device. Is this true? I have a limited window for return and will need to take advantage of it if this is correct.

Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with Google WiFi and don't think I can help. I wish you luck though.

@TechWeasel I have MR600 and Draytek 2865. Followed your instructions and it worked a treat. I am now load sharing across my crappy FTTN connection and a 4G Plus link. Thank you for taking the time to post your findings. :)

@Aljrob Hi Aljrob, yes, I managed to get it working using the instructions from @lightwhisper.
Instead of Google wifi though I use TP-link Deco. I was setting up Wireless broadband to amalgamate it with my crappy FTTN to make it stable.
Worked fine, I didnt have to do anything to the home wifi setup, just restart the main Deco router.
I'm not familiar with Google pucks, so cant be much help.
All the best with it though.
Cheers

@Lightwisper et al, I’ve been following your setup instructions (thanks!) in order to try to use the Archer MR600 with my tried-and-tested Google WiFi. All seems very clear when I setup the MR600 (IP address 192.168.8.1) until I try to reserve the IP address for the primary router (Google WiFi).
I’ve connected the Google WiFi WAN port to Lan 1 on the MR600 but when I click scan nothing is showing up, ie the MR600 doesn’t appear to be ‘seeing’ the Google WiFi puck.
When I run a status report from the Google WiFi puck it’s clearly seeing the MR600 (ethernetLink: true) but doesn’t appear to be obtaining an IP address.
Any ideas gratefully received…
