eFibre setup can i use old switch

Cuttlefish · 2013-11-21 10:11:44

So I got eFibre set up last week and happyish with it. My question - could I keep my old netopia router and run two networks, the eFibre router n netopia one? Would this cause interference or has eircom disabled this or would they frown upon this? If it us credible is there any benefit?

You could bridge the F1000 and still use your old netopia router as discussed in this post

but from what you have said there would be no real point in you doing so.

you can configure your netopia to work as a wireless access point

first update the firmware on it to this version

next follow the instructions in the link below
