I have configured this
- home hub Wan port connected to OTN box cat6 running from OTN to smart hub in another room
- Home Hub port 1 connected to an 4 port 1g switch (switch port 1connects onto another 1g 8 port switch in another room )
- 8 port switch connects to a few areas of the house, one port connects to another switch 4 ports 1g
- Each wifi disc is connected via the switches around the house, all 4 discs on the app are showing ethernet as the connection
- Home hub is showing wifi discs connected to port 1
It looks like you can run as many wifi discs as you need, I dont have any more to test but managed to get 4 connected to the home hut without any drama
I ran a 15 meter ethernet outside the house and connected a disc. app shows connected and in good shape.
I connected to the BT home hub wifi and walked toward the disc outside, what i noicted was the signal had to drop before i would connect to the disc outside, it was maybe 2-3 seconds.. not the worst situation.
I configured all the CCTV/Nas/Cloud devices all ok, fixed their IP address and shortern the DHCP server range to a handfull of IP address, of course changes the DHCP/Home Hub Ip address range to take it away from the default.
The Halo device is a the next thing i want to play with. i was told that the halo will service the internet if there is a disconnection from the exchange. so far it seems that when i power off the OTN box, the ethernet connections all lose the internet but using wifi you disconnect and reconnect and you can get a onto the internet. Will have a play later this this
