Modem and router setup question #10001

Hi all,

I’m sorry in advance for asking, I’m sure this has been covered ad nauseam, but I’m having trouble searching for the answer. I’ll try to keep this brief!

I had success having my core connected to wireless in my system, but decided to get an iMac as a new core and connect it to Ethernet. Here’s how it’s setup at the moment:

The modem is Spectrum fiber. The core and the dac (Ropiee) connected directly to modem. Google Mesh router connects to modem for wifi.

This all works and I can connect my iphone and remote control Roon. But, I now don’t see the other wifi enabled endpoints in my system, and the iphone also doesn’t show up as an endpoint to play through either, which is weird.

Am I going about this wrong? Do I have to connect my core and dac directly to the router? I think this would fix it and I’d see the wifi endpoints, but I would need a gigabit switch since the Google Mesh only has one ethernet out port.

edit: I should mention that wifi is disabled in the modem, but I need to check IP addresses when I get home later.

Thanks!

Thanks, Menzies! Great advice.That’s what I’ll do. I’ll get the switch.
