@Aljrob 

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. :)

@RandomShouting Great to hear you have found it useful. Thanks for letting me know.

@Aljrob I have the same problem did you have any luck?

thanks

@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…
