M9 plus as an AP on a Connect Box (ziggo)
Sorry for my thick question. I do have an IPTV box and a modem/router (connect box). My wifi and LAN are all plugged into my CB router. Since i now got a 2 story apartment i feel the wifi upstairs to leave much to demand for.. I was wondering if I could increase wifi speed if I loop in a pair of M9 plus' as AP. Does that mean they run parallel to the wifi coming from the CB? I cannot bridge it (i 've to call support so they do that remotely hence I'm hesitating) alas the idea of using them in AP mode. Will the overall wifi speed decrease cause of those 2 networks? I assume the m9 can operate its own mesh even as AP? Should I switch off the 2.4 and 5gHz radios in the CB so all wifi comes from the m9? is there any speed difference depending on the mode of operation router vs ap? I am also hesitating to bridge the CB as my Sonos Playbase and xiaomi TV box are hooked to it by LAN whereas the m9 has rather limited options LAN-wise. soooorrryyy
