Now I need to improve the signal strength in other parts of the house. I have a second CeroWRT ready to go, and have configured mesh networking between them. When connected to ethernet ports on the second CeroWRT, IP networking works fine but DNS is not. The second CeroWRT provides itself as the DNS server to the ethernet ports but then seems to refuse any requests. So, I have three questions. 1) Is mesh networking the best approach to take for this sort of situation? 2) Is there any advice on what changes to make to get DNS working on the second CeroWRT? 3) Should I try to use an ethernet cable between the two CeroWRTs? If so, then what should I do? Babel again, or separate VLANs for the different network zones?
