Hello all,

I recently moved from Unifi 100 MBps to Time Fibre 500 MBps.

I was using my Google Wifi network (1 router + 2 pods) on Unifi using the setup from below link I once picked up from this forum (www.blacktubi.com/guide/make-any-router-work-on-unifi/) and that worked excellent. I only used the Unifi modem and ditched the router. The 3 Google Wifi points was just enough for the house but actually I needed 1 or 2 more.

Now however, I am getting two Mesh Routers from Time Fibre (Huawei OptiXstar HG8145X6-10). The two is not enough for my house and I would like to extend using my Google Wifi Points. The Time technician said it was possible, I just had to plug it in.

I have done a hard reset on the Google Wifi Points and plugged 1 Google Wifi Point directly into the LAN1 of the Time Router. I am still getting the blue slow pulsing light though.

Does anyone know if and how this can work together? Any step-by-step guide or video tutorial?



Thanks all!!


EDIT: Update - I've factory reset my network in the Google Home app. I had already factory reset the pod itself. Now I've added the WiFi network in the Google Home app using hte same SSID and the same password. Not sure if that's correct but we'll see how it goes ...

Try the following
remove the 2nd mesh router
ask TIME to set the main router that the fiber cable is plugged into into modem only mode

then you can set it up as if it was Unifi, with the main provided router now only being a fiber modem
connect up the tplink smart switch
but instead of VLAN 500 it is VLAN 499

That is awesome. Will try it tomorrow. Thank you sir for the reply!!
