I connect all my devices to the internet using Google WiFi via the T-Mobile Zyxel VMG8825-T50.
Recently I’ve been having connectivity issues and after sending diagnostic logs and a long support session with the Google Wifi Support, the identified problem (something about a DHCP timeout) can be fixed by enabling bridge / DMZ on the T-Mobile device.
I called and searched the community but can’t find the right post to help me do this.
Can someone kindly point me in the right direction.
Hello
Google WiFi cannot be directly connected to the Zyxel since Google WiFi doesn't support VLAN tagging so it will not work correctly
You need to have a managed switch between the Zyxel and Google WiFi to seperate the VLANS. Also see this topic :
Bridge mode is not possible and DMZ will not help.
Thank you
This turned out a bit more complicated than I expected.
My understanding so far is that the need to separate the signal is because the data that comes from the fibre is for internet and TV.
If I only have an internet plan, do you know if this would solve the problem?
The Zyxel still has a tagged VLAN 300 for all ports so as mentioned in the link in my first post there are 2 options, use a second router or use a switch.
