First of all, I know just enough about networking to be dangerous; which is not very much. I recently changed my internet provider from Comcast to AT&T. Also recently set up a BI computer. The way I have things now is a bit unusual, and I'm wondering if I am setting myself up for disaster.
My fiber internet is run to an AT&T BGW210 modem/router. My google wifi is wired to my BGW210 router. I turned off wifi on the AT&T router, but did not make any other changes such as setting it up for IP passthrough.
I have a POE switch wired to my AT&T router and have 2 IP cameras connected to that. I also have my BI computer network-wired to the AT&T router. All my other devices (computers, tv's, streaming devices and 2 nest cameras) are connected to my google wifi mesh network(either wired or wireless).
Everything seems to be working well this way, except I cannot access my BI remotely with the IOS app. That said, I have not set up port forwarding on my AT&T router yet. I'm assuming when I get that done it will fix this problem.
So does this setup sound like a recipe for disaster, or do you think it is a good logical setup? TIA
