Want to incorporate BE550 to my network
Want to incorporate BE550 to my network
I just purchased a BE550 router. I would like to use it with my Linksys MR7500 router. What would be the ideal way to set up the BE550? AP mode? I'm in a small apartment & trying to extend the wifi signal in the living room. Currently my set up is Linksys MR7500 router as parent node & 1 Linksys MX2001 mesh unit as the child node in the living room.
I get lots of interference from the condo that's 2 streets away from me that has cell phone antennas on the roof top.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.

If your Linksys MR7500 is configured in bridge mode probably that's even better, cause you can use BE550 full potential as a main router.
The easiest way to check if that the case is to check your BE550 WAN port (Internet) IP address:
If this IP address matches your public IP address (open in a web browser https://ping.eu/ to check it) then Linksys MR7500 is in bridge mode and BE550 should be configured in wireless router mode.
If that's not the case then BE550 should be configured in AP mode so you can avoid double NAT in your local network.
