Connecting my own router - which unit do I connect to?
When my purefibre was installed a few days ago I asked the installation tech which unit should connect to if I decide to use my own router, which I have decided to do so I can create my VLANS ect for new IoT connected devices, keep using my existing customizations in my dd-wrt router etc.
He said to connect it to my NH20A unit and not the Nokia unit the fibre is plugged into, but I am not sure if he understood my intent clearly. Right now I have the Cisco (linksys) just operating as a switch and ethernet goes from the NH20 to my nearest switch, but I'd like to swap that switch with my router and have the router first in line. Can I run ethernet from the Nokia unit direct to my router & bypass the NH20A unit? Or if I keep it connected, would this be just like using two routers on my home LAN, which would give me the ability to have two physically different LANS? Thanks in advance More... |
