Hello again,
Hope you all are well.
My today's query is; I'm planning to setup APs for a 1+2 floor house (ground + first & second). Here's the current setup:
Main fiber line connected to a multiplexer (I think that's what its called). That functions as a router. It has an in-built gpon device, 2 Gbit LAN ports, provides wi-fi, has 1 XFS port for an RJ11-landline. I also checked, it cant be flashed with an openwrt firmware. The model of the device is Optilink OP-GONT 90211VW.
Presently, it serves wi-fi to all the mobile devices and is connected to my main desktop for internet via an eth cat 5e cable. Due to its limited range and mobility, the wifi signals on the first and the floor are non-existent.
(If you need screencaps of the settings page/anything particular, do let me know).
I also have two additional routers/APs;
TP-LINK WR841NDv11
TP-LINK WR940NV6
both flashed with an older OWRT firmware. 18.2xx something. Both of those work just fine.
I plan to let those two communicate with the Optilink device. I'll setup one on the first floor and the other on the second, so that the entire house is wi-fi enabled.
I want to know how best to approach this scenario.
Thanks for your time! Have lovely day ahead.
