Connecting Archer BE550 to an Existing Router (Arris NVG443B)
Hello Community! I recently purchased the Archer BE550 for a better wifi solution that what I have with my current Wifi provider (Frontier - only option available). I have an existing modem that also serves as a router, Arris NVG443B. In reading installation documents, sounds like I have to keep the original modem/router and connect Archer to it. I could really use the help of this group with the following
- Given that I'm keeping the original modem/router, is there even value in setting up the Archer?
- Is there anything I have to do to maximize the value of this setup? I read various articles about needing to disable the original router (and keeping it as a modem), setting up a bridge on the old router, or setting up archer as an access point. Can someone clarify what to do to maxime the value of this?
Thanks very much in advance!
