Plan your Extended Network
Before moving ahead to setup the AP, it is a good idea to draw out a network
diagram to help identify your network devices and plan out how to connect these
devices to your AP.
Each port in the device can be used only as defined below:
Ethernet 1 – Broadband Port
•
Ethernet 2 – (Gigabit Ethernet Port) Laptop
•
NOTE: If you have a data point in the place where you wish to place your
WMB260AC Whole-Home Wi-Fi Mesh System, one of the Ethernet port can be used
for WAN connection to set up your WMB260AC as AP.
To create a network diagram:
For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the
•
network.
For wired devices, identify which Ethernet port you want to use for each
•
device.
