![]() Either way the wireless is just like the example above.ģ) If nothing is connected to either the LAN or the WAN then it assumes the role of being a repeater.Ĥ) If you only use the LAN port then the role is both a bridge and a repeater. Either way it provides connectivity to users on the wireless to the network that it is connected to the WAN port.Ģ) If there is a connection on the LAN port and the WAN port, then the LAN port like a switch / router in that network connectivity on that port is dependent of the options that you set in the configuration. Here is how I was told about the built in logic:ġ) If there is a connection on the WAN port, it assumes the role of an AP or a wireless router AP with routing and such dependent on how you set the options. As for the Bridge mode issue, I am lost on what slylabs13 is trying to accomplish. I have much less problems and I am able to troubleshoot them remotely. I love the OM2P devices and the Cloudtrax interface. If you are running STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) then bridge mode will not work.īarring those things, and if you intend to deploy a lot of wireless devices, or you need to extend your wireless network beyond your physical infrastructure, then these mesh devices are a good choice. Also, if you intend to bridge the private ssid (ssid2) then you *may* have problems, depending on your network equipment. ![]() My advice is if you do not need to mesh, that is extend your network to places without Ethernet wiring, then there are other dual band devices that would be better, although the management of an entire network of devices with a single web page is nice. The MR500 models allow you to select 2.4 or 5 Ghz for client connections. We are using both the OM2P and the MR500 models. My feeling is that they have bigger fish to fry. I am on the list of people to test the new firmware. Have the issues been fixed? Which models are you having the issues on? I've heard great things elsewhere, but the issues you've described concern me. If all your devices are going to be wired in, you do not need these, and they are a pain in the ass if I may say so.Īny updates or other input on this? I am looking at possibly deploying their OM2P routers/access points for my hotel's guest WiFi. They are good for extending a wireless network off certain gateway units to non-wired units around their perimeter, on small LAN's. So if you hop through two mesh you get 1/4 the bandwidth you otherwise would. ![]() ![]() Also consider that for every hop they make, the bandwidth is cut in half. They have people who will try to help, but the firmware is always beta, and you can take that to heart. I am about ready to toss in the towel now. Something to consider if security is an issue. No one as yet seems to be able to tell me why, although they do maintain a debugging tunnel so any of their devs can get into them at any time. Also, for whatever reason, on our large network, they have difficulty maintaining a connection to the internet through their own Ethernet, and opt to use another mesh for their gateway. They do have a firmware revision coming (when who can say) that deals with the issue. You cannot use bridge mode as they will cause a topological loop.
