Before I start fucking around myself, is anyone on Community Fibre and got an independent mesh system?
Just had it installed this AM, came with a CF branded Lynksys Velop router/WiFi AP. I asked the tech whether I could plug my existing mesh (Deco M4) straight into the CF modem or does it need to go through the Velop and he flat out told me that he didn't know. He said CF sell their own mesh upgrade, but he doesn't know how 3rd party meshes work with their setup.
From what I can tell, the Lynksys Velop they provide is the "primary" and can be upgraded with either CF purchased or Lynksys branded nodes available on Amazon or other retailers. Which leads me to believe I can just disconnect the CF Velop and plug my own mesh primary straight into the CF Modem. Which would be the equivalent of putting a Virgin box into "modem only mode" which is what I have been doing up until now.
I did the ask the tech whether I could do that, and he said no, but I think he just didn't know, or he's trained to say no.
