After a while, #Bell has fixed the settings on the Fibe Gigahub residential modem's admin page, so that now it's possible to entirely turn off all 3 WiFi bands. This was broken a while ago.
This is important for those who only want the Bell-controlled device to be used as a fiber modem, with no control or insight into the WiFi signals in the home, and no control over firewall and routing.
@johnefrancis is there a separate setting to put it in bridge mode? We’re on our third in as many years and we still have all kinds of issues. I’d love to get some mesh devices and replace this network with my own.
I use the DMZ settings to put my own wired firewall/router in the DMZ, so it gets the WAN IP, not the Fibe Gigahub. My firewall establishes a pppoe session thru the Gigahub. That makes the Gigahub largely invisible, a bit like a wired bridge.
Nothing else is connected to the Gigahub.
I have a set of TPLink Deco mesh devices that are set to AP mode and provide wifi in the house, wired to the LAN, with all the DHCP coming from my wired firewall/rout
