Q: Airport Extreme and Orange Livebox

Hi

 

Is there merit in disabling the router on the live box?

 

I've attached the airport extreme to it via ethernet. I've established a network, wireless backups and wireless file transfer is working fine. Disabling the router looks complicated, is it worth the hassle?

 

Thanks

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    Bottom line? No. You should continue to use your Live Box router as is. In this configuration you would have the basis for a roaming type network and, if not already configured as such, I would suggest that you consider doing so. It would not require any changes to the Live Box router and only a few for the Extreme.

     

    If you need any assistance in setting it up, just let us know.
