Hi there,

 

 

 

I have recently had Fibre installed with spark/ chorus, my house has a box where the ONT sits and wires for ethernet to each room in the house. 

 

Currently I have had this set up as a daisy chain with the default router sitting in the box with the ONT connecting LAN1 from the ONT to WAN on the router.

 

the router is then daisy chained to 2 other routers in the house via the lan ports and through the walls. 

 

It is not ideal to have the router sitting with the ONT for me and I would like to set this up as seperate access points around the house with the three routers in various rooms. 

 

I have tried to simply set the cables up and 'plug and play' this new configuration but get no internet connection when I break the configuration. 

 

 

 

My question is does this chorus ONT allow for this kind of setup? and are there any guides out there to get this working?

Hi, so from what you say you are two independant folk, just using the same BB account?

 

There are better ways to do what you are doing, but not with ISP supplied routers. If it were me I would put a Mikrotik or Edgerouter in the Garage configured with two seperated LANs for each of you. aAd then a couple of Inwall Unifi APs, that advertise both SSID's and give you access to a wired LAN port at each AP, my 2c
