WIRED BACKHAUL - Laptop using LAN connects to MODEM´s network and not nest network

So here I´m again.

All set with my network. I have prepared the whole house with a wired backhaul and some access points are wired and some are WIFI.

Point is that I started using my laptop in the office of my house connected to the LAN and not using wifi but when connected to the LAN it connets to the network of my internet service provider (has the same name as the network of the main router) and not the network I have created when I configured the full new house with a new network.

 

Should I disable anything on the service provider router?

Hey @Aperelstein .

The ISP's router/modem needs to have routing and DHCP disabled and placed into pass through or bridge mode. The Nest Wifi will handle all of the routing and DHCP and establish a single network.

Hey @Aperelstein .

All of those settings should be disabled.
