TOPIC: FIBER ONU MODEM AS AN ACCESS POINT

Good morning mga mam/sir. bago lang po ako dito..need ko po tulong nyo..Ganito po kasi set up ko..Bale may fiber modem na di na gingamit ang balak ko sana gawing isa pang access point sa kabilang bahay.. ganito set up ko ngaun..FIBER MODEM BLACK--->DSL ROUTER DISABLED DHCP(ACCESS POINT)--->FIBER ONU MODEM WHITE(DISABLED DHCP)..ang problema is hindi ko mapagana sya as an access point..try to disable dhcp..pinalitan ko na lan ip ng fiber modem white..gnun pa din..no internet.. Am i missing something config? Pa tulong naman..salamat sa sasagot..

Pwed, pero depende sa secondary router mo kung pwede access point mode lang. Ano yung main router mo, o yung 3-in-1 (router-switch-modem) na galing sa ISP?

main router ko po is ung galing din sa pldt fiber modem black...tapos ung naka attached via ethernet cable dun is ADSL modem from bayantel..then dun sana sa bayantel ko i connect etong unused pldt fiber modem n white..possible kaya un? salamat po sa pagsagot.

Yung setup 1, ilalagay mo yung secondary sa LAN segment ng router mo together with other wired devices. So any wireless clients will become member of the same LAN segment. Ang malaking disadvantage is because wireless uses CSMA/CA (Carrier sense multiple access/Collission avoidance) maapektuhan ang performance ng entire network. Yung mekanismo kasi niyan, a node can only send data when others are not sending, ie bus. Unlike sa all-wired connections where all nodes regardless of the state of other.

Kung may custom router ka like pfSense, mikrotik, or any Linux or BSD-based router at spare NIC, highly preferable if you can make your wireless LAN separate.

medyo di ko masyado maintndhan..haha.sorry..kasi main prob lang nmn ggawin kung 3rd access point ay wla connection..nakakabit siya sa secondary access point.

3rd access point? I thought you are just going to repurpose your spare access point as secondary. Anyway, yung setup 1 sa diagram is if you are going to use the 3-in-1 supplied by ISP. Yung 2nd diagram is if you have a specialized, custom router like pfSense, mikrotik or any Linux/BSD-based router.

And to further clarify, sa fibre net yung ONU/ONT, hindi pa iyan modem nor router. It's an optical device that converts optical signal into electrical. Yung ikinakabit mo dun, yung yung 3-in-1 (modem-router-switch functions rolled into 1). That is almost always crappy.

Assuming that you already know basic IP subnets (/24, /16) so that you don't mixed them up, ang systematic troubleshooting, if you are unsure, check the connectivity of a node to its gateway first. You have to check its connectivity to its gateway's IP first. Disregard hostname resolution at this stage as you don't need DNS yet. You can use various tools to do that. In Linux, you can use ping, tcpdump, wireshark, ip, arp etc. Sa Windows, you can use ping, netstat, wireshark, arp; then check the next hop router so on and so forth...

Going back to your setup, what's the IP addressing of your 2ndary and tertiary router/AP? Magumpisa ka mag-troubleshoot dyan, papunta sa main gateway. That is assuming may router-mode yung 2 access points/routers mo.

medyo technical terms mga sinabi mo..gets ko ung iba..pero simplehan lang natin..ung main fiber modem ko to dsl modem which is from bayantel..ginawa ko sya access point..lan ip nya is 192.168.1.6..gumagana nmn dyan..may internet na pumapasok..dyan ko ikakabit sa dsl modem ung unused fiber modem na white..ginawa ko sa white modem..disabled dhcp..change lan ip to 192.168.15..disable na din nat and dns relay..the problem is wala pumapasok n connection sa white modem..may na miss ba ako configuration?

^gusto ka nag simply? ganito gawin mo isp/router+switch/hub+router<<bridge mode

from isp/router connecta mo sa switch tapos kabit mo yung router na sinabi mo jan sa switch. configure mo into bridge mode lang yun router na sinasabi mo

192.168.1.5 isp/router
192.168.2.5 bridge mod router para walang conflict

wala ako switch eh..yan lng na tatlo ang meron ako..saka dba pag na bridge eh half ang speed.

Bili ka na lang Xiaomi Router sa Lazada...12.12

Tapos ang problema mo...lolz
