Hello, I'm facing some setup challenges. My Bell Fibre internet is connected via a Bell Home Hub router 2000. I don't like Bell modems or similar setups, so I switched to a Google WiFi (initially just one, will buy more if coverage is weak). Both are working fine now. I disabled the WiFi from the Bell Home Hub 2000 to avoid having two channels. I followed the guide at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz6x7k...0J0MlpmZVk for configuring my Bell Home Hub to Google WiFi. However, now only one WiFi signal is coming from Google. But I need multiple wired connections for my PS4, PC, and Smart TV, especially for 4K video, so I bought a 24-port switch from Monoprice. I'm unsure whether it should connect to the Google WiFi or the Bell Home Hub 2000. Both setups aren't working as expected. Please help me.

You're encountering an issue with not receiving IP addresses. It seems your modem might be connected to the Bell Home Hub, and you're wondering if running a DHCP server on both the Google WiFi and the Bell Hub could resolve the problem.
