How to setup separate Wifi Router

VinceF

Hi,

Is there a guide on how to setup the CODA-4680 to use an external wifi router, ie disable wifi on the modem and do other needed steps?

Separate note, any thoughts on the TP-link AX-55?

Thanks,

Vince

Hi.

Here are the instructions for the setup.

In terms of the AX-55 it is a very good router with WiFi 6 support, 4 x 1GB ports, and a USB 3.0 port.

The data was being send to Avira as part of the Homelink feature (smart home - iot).

It's kind of like Siri, Alexa, and Google assistant who send all your data and voice to make those services work.

Since 2023 this can be disabled.
