My brother install Unifi Free 2 Mesh Router, he give 1 to me. He does not need it.


My house is using Maxis Kaonmedia wifi 6 router.


I am so happy to have another wifi 6 router AP installed at upstair. BUT...

I use the free D-Link AX3000 Bridge Mode to upstair, (pull a wired cable from maxis router LAN1 to Unifi Mesh Router LAN).

REQUIREMENT:
- Same subnet (Same Network)
- Different SSID from Main Router

I want to separate the SSID between 2.

Maxis:-
shiro-maxis-2.4g
shiro-maxis-5g

Maxis Router Gateway: 192.168.0.1

Unifi Mesh Router: 192.168.0.2
Unifi DCHP: Off
Unifi Mode change to Bridge Mode
I went to WLAN: set the SSID1,5
shiro-unifi-2.4g
shiro-unifi-5g



*What is the Administrative password for??? (anyone can explain?)

Below is the Unifi Mesh Router Setting, I had done, off DHCP, off NAT. (tried WAN port and LAN port, by right it should be only using LAN mode, but no DHCP).







but, once I restart/reboot the unifi router. The SSID automatic change to Maxis. I use inssider to SCAN it, found 2 SSID under the same.

2. If I don't restart, I manually change the SSID, it able to show up, but when I connected to unifi SSID, it does not have any IP.
The connected devices show private IP, there is no IP get from maxis router DHCP server.
If I set manual / static IP
192.168.0.200 and gateway 192.168.0.1, I am able to access internet. However, I notice the connection is not stable. the ping is frequency drop.



*Thing to take note:
The two SSID is using same channels. If I manually switch the unifi WLAN 5g channel, the primary one also switched... I am fed up... like fighting a big boss.

There is no AP Mode, only 2 modes.
-router mode
-bridge mode

I would want to group it into 1 network, so everything share under 192.168.0.x network

Is it no way to make sure for this unifi mesh router? is it kind of waste. I got heard always use same AP brands, if not will have issue.
Post this up, hopefully any sifu can give advice. Or ask D-Link to any firmware to fix it?

UPDATE:
I changed another maxis router to test. Below is the video for more detail:

1. I want to split the WIFI name, because I found if it same WiFi hard to troubleshoot if got problem. Since it is at my own house, try to make it easy troubleshoot next time.

2. If want to change dlink become PPPoE, terbalik not sure work or not. But if change Maxis route nto primary, from the Maxis APP not sure can monitor the online status or not. So far I can view the online status via Maxis APP

There is no AP mode. But as I study from YouTube, bridge mode look like is a AP mode.
But just no idea this D-Link, sendiri pandai auto mesh it. In the easy mesh mode, I can see it group it, that why after reboot, it will merge the SSID, but still no IP given.

Hope anyone have experience try on this unifi mesh work as a AP in their workaround, or anyone have good experience with D-Link.

I tried " then plug into lan port and disable dhcp" , the problem is no IP address assigned when I connected to the Unifi Router (I purpose change different SSID to test it).

As you see my screenshot I not only disable DHCP, also IPv6 DHCP and also NAT.

Weekend I try to fix this issue again.
I manage to do a screencast for better understand what I had done.

Eventhough it is connected successfully with bridgemode, but you can see the DHCP is not working, I have to manually set the IP.
Even I manually set the IP, the IP ping is dropped very frequent. It cannot pakai
