OS 200 mesh
Hey, not sure if this is even the right category... I'm brand new to mesh, specifically omada systems.
I currently have a mess of a system to get coverage on our acreage and wanted to switch to a mesh system. I've ordered a couple omada wall mounted APs, an outdoor omada AP and a OS200 controller.
Do I have this correct:
My Archer AX10 router is mesh compatible but not omada so I'll disable wifi in it and only use it as a router
APs plugged into the router (not done yet)
OS200 plugged into the main router.
Or do I also need an omada compatible router?
I had the OS200 plugged in and via the android app tried to create a mesh system but it first asked to connect to my wireless gateway. So it implied the only way to continue was to also have a different router. So do I really need a new omada compatible router? I also don't have the APs wired in yet but was just checking out the app. I don't see how plugging in an AP would change anything since its first asking for a wireless gateway. If I do need a new router as well, which ones are compatible?
Thanks

@Kevin676 Here's a decent video if you want to see what's involved in setting up the CPE210.

Yes and see your problem with needing ports for your cameras. So a couple options. 1. Wireless bridge that the other poster suggested, which actually looks nice after looking at the video. 2. Ethernet over AC adapters although not sure how good these work 3. You may like this one the best since you can use one Wi-Fi tech across your home. Look at the Deco mesh from TP-Link. Those units come with Ethernet ports and I see they even have an outdoor unit now. 4. Lastly get a Wi-Fi camera system, I use Ring.
