Hey guys,
I would like to purchase my own router from TP-Link to be able to configure VLANS. I don’t use Telus Optik TV.
Can I just unplug the T3200M modem and plug the fiber cable directly into my new router (given that it supports fiber) as well as connect the wired RJ45 cables (those that lead to wired access points throughout my house) into LAN ports of my new router? Will the Internet access work without further settings and adjustments needed, so that I can move on to my VLAN configurations right from there?
Or should I keep T3200M and use it in the bridging mode instead, and connect the new router to it?
Whether using the bridging mode or not, I really would like to be able to reconnect the wired cables to my new router’s ports. From what I see, it should work (those are basically just extension cables), but I could be missing something.
thanks!
