I can manage fine in French!  But, someone just told me that the
smartphone app for router and extender control offers far more options
than the web interface I've been rooting around in.  So next time
I'm at the new apartment, I'll give it a try.  Be interesting if it's
either IN or OUT ..

The mode of usage is usually switchable inside the WiFi Extender
interface. Is there a user manual online (en Anglais) ?

Thanks for that link!  That's what I had expected - "Disposant d'un port
Ethernet WAN-LAN vous avez possibilité de relier un équipement PC" - and
I tried it with both some SB kit and a WiFi-off laptop - with no
connection.  I used the LAN cable supplied with the Pop extender, but
I'll try some other cables too, just in case  I won't be a the new
place for the next few days, so this will be a weekend task.  If I can
get it to work, it will solve almost the whole of the WiFi6 / SBs issue
for me!

One thing, though.  The Freebox installtion guides only mention the
Ethernet port as an INPUT to the TV box or WiFi Extender.  That link you
found is a 3rd party site - and I have to wonder (France being France!)
whether they verified that the socket was indeed 2-way, or did as I did,
and simply thought "An Ethernet Socket - that will be handy!".

According to this

you should be able to get this to work.

Try with different Ethernet cables and with different equipment - eg
plug in a laptop with laptop WiFi disabled.

What you are remembering, I think, It port auto-sensing - which is
supported by most modern devices.

[slim] WiFi Extenders and LAN

2022-11-16 Thread agbagb


In my new WiFi6 setup (damn!) I've got the Router, with a few Ethernet
sockets, a wireless TV box with an Ethernet socket, and a WiFi extender
box again with an Ethernet socket. (French Freebox Pop kit, for what
it's worth).

Obviously, those two extension boxes can connect WiFi to the router, or
can connect LAN to the router.  However, I "assumed" that, with the
boxes connected to the router via WiFi, their LAN sockets would be
outputs as well as inputs - and I could plug a Touch or a Radio into
them, bypassing the troublesome WiFi6.  But, so far as I can tell, the
LANs are IN only - an SB device plugged in reports "No LAN Connection".
(Those on the Router work fine as OUT).

Is that "as expected"?  In my innocence, I thought that LAN sockets were
always both IN and OUT.  Am I wrong, as it seems?
