To check the connection between the PC and the printer, Pi4 is an almost perfect 2.4Ghz wireless self-jamming device due to having its USB3 ports and HDMI ports in close proximity to the wifi antenna (top of board near GPIO pins 1-6). In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks. The symptom is that the 2.4Ghz wireless network will either not be visible, or will drop back to hotspot as soon as USB3 is detected (boot time or at cable reconfig).
But that would have your CenturyLink modem only acting as a modem, the switch only handling VLAN, and the Google WiFi being a router doing all everything else a router is meant to do, getting rid of the double NAT issues that having two routers cause.Īlso I'm not sure but maybe with Fiber you can get rid of the CenturyLink hardware completely, if it's an ethernet cable coming into your house I think you can just have the managed switch handle the VLAN tagging, and have the Google Wifi do everything else.Hi to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.

I'm not sure about with Fiber but around here CenturyLink uses VLAN tagging which the Google/Nest WiFi does not support, so if you want to put the CenturyLink modem in bridge bode then you would need to add a managed ethernet switch in between the CenturyLink modem and the Google Wifi to handle the VLAN tagging, then the Google WiFi should be able to login with PPPoE, you'll need your username and password from CenturyLink for that.Ī managed switch is only like $25 if you want to do all that. Then like the other guy said having the CenturyLink modem in bridge mode would also help, but it may be more complicated than that.
Turning off the WiFi radios on the CenturyLink modem/router would be my first step, it could help some just so the CenturyLink one isn't causing radio interference. Is there anything I can go to get those higher speeds on my Google Wifi? My work computer plugs directly into one of the Google hubs in my office (on the other end of the house from the modem) so it would be nice for it to see some of those higher speeds. The tech did tell me that the 5Ghz is going to give me the better speeds but I'm reading that the range might be lessened as a result. When I'm further away the CenturyLink speed obviously drops just because of the range of the router so the performance is pretty close between CL and Google.Įverything I have read says Google Wifi will automatically switch between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz depending on what gives the best wifi signal, but again.

When I am one room over and connected to CenturyLink via wifi, I'm getting download speeds of about 450mbps but my Google Wifi is only getting 80-100. Our connection is noticeably faster (our previous service capped at 100mbps with Cox and we definitely never saw those speeds) but there is a pretty significant difference between connecting to our Google Wifi vs. We already own Google Wi-Fi so that is plugged in as well with three hubs around the house. We just had Centurylink Fiber installed at our house and the provided us with a new modem/router combo. Forgive my lack of knowledge around this subject but I'm hoping for some help!
