Greetings,
I have installed the Helix fi 2 router/modem.
Previously I used two Lynksys EA6500 routers in bridge mode.
The first (A) router was connected to the old Vidéotron modem (still using for the phone) and the second one (B) is bridged to the A.
Each has a separate network name, A and B. There are some devices connected to them (NAS, external HDD).
I have tried to set the Helix fi Hub to the bridge mode. I connected my two spared Lynksys routers to the Helix.
The internal home network device ware seen but there was no external/internet connection at all.
No solution has been found by a Vidéotron technician.
Thus he suggested conning the spare routers to the Helix in a normal mode. I have connected them - B -bridge mode- A - Helix (New name network C).
Now the internet function well.
But I can only see the internal home network devices being connected to he network A or B. Not (via wi-fi) to the C one.
As if the Helix does not recognise the connected routers and their devices.
I have also noticed that the speed of the network’s A and B reaches only around 100 Mbps whilst being connected to the Helix Wi-Fi source it jumps to almost 400 Mbps.
Is there any possibility to get the Helix fi talk to my spare routers when connected to it as the C network (by the network I mean the name and the device pointed)?
Is there any setting to be made on both Helix and routers level?
I am quite network ignorant.
I would appreciate any helpful indication, direction to search or any guidance.
Thank you in advance.
