    I’m guessing that both routers are running DHCP and/or running NAT at the same time. You need only one to do all that (the one attached to the WAN/Internet) and the other needs to act as a switch only (usually called access point mode).

    Not sure about all the mesh stuff, but traditionally you’d switch off all the routing functions of the second router and connect it to the other router via the LAN ports. Again, DHCP and actual routing would need to be turned off on the “secondary” routers.

    If all these “routers” (really we should be calling them access points to distinguish which function we’re referencing) are part of the same mesh networking system I’d imagine they’d take care of these issues on their own though, so more details about the network topology would be necessary to be helpful.


  • GoDaddy is known to be a terrible company for a multitude of reasons (both technical and non-).

    My last experience with them involved completely migrating a client away from them as they were paying significantly more than I’d ever seen for the services they were using.

    For the client, what drove them to finally dump GoDaddy was their email server only pushing new messages every 10 minutes (even on a manual fetch); not good in an email-heavy industry.

    I couldn’t even get DNSSEC working at the time and if I remember correctly you had to pay more for AAAA records — something crazy like that.
