Is it possible to configure AirGrid in Wifi Router mode?

Question

Huawei

Hello.

The other day I was connected to the Internet via fiber optic. I decided to add a Wifi router to connect mobile and laptops, but I didn’t buy a WiFi router, but to assemble a network from what I have.
There is a D-Link switch for 5 RG45 ports, a speed of 1000 Mbps, as well as a WiFi antenna (I don’t know how to call it correctly) AirGrid m2, it has long been connected to WiFi Internet from the provider.
In the settings of this AirGrid m2, there are Bridge, Router and SOHO Router modes.
In Router mode, I never managed to set it up, but in SOHO Router mode, the Internet appeared in WiFi, but not quite "good".
The switching scheme is as follows:
The fiber optic cable is connected to the Huawei HG8310M Subscriber Terminal, it has 1 RG45 connector, I connect it to the D-Link switch. The D-Link switch also includes AirGrid m2 and Computer. Well, then mobile and laptops via WiFi.

And so a problem in the following. When I configure SOHO Router mode in AirGrid m2, the Internet works like this:
- There is Internet on the computer (via cable), but not on Phones and Laptops.
- There is no Internet on the computer (via cable), but on Phones and Laptops there is.
These two options appear randomly when you restart the Computer and AirGrid, as if whoever boots up faster will get the Internet.

AirGrid also has a MAC Address Cloning item. Where did I register the MAC address of the computer. In this case, the Internet appeared on the computer and on Phones, Laptops. It would seem that everything is fine, but not quite. The Internet is there and there, but it is not stable.
Both on the computer and on the phones crashes occur. That is, when you open the page, first the message "Unable to display the page" appears, and on the second attempt, the page opens. This happens very often. ping the network shows that packets are being lost. It seems to me that because of the same MAC, the packets get to the wrong place, but these are my assumptions.

When you turn on the Computer directly to the Huawei HG8310M Subscriber Terminal, there are no problems, the Internet works well, ping without interruptions, that is, the problem is in my scheme, but not in the provider.

There are still a lot of settings in AirGrid, but I don’t know what and how to configure there.

The question is, can anyone know if it is possible to set up AirGrid so that the Internet works well both on the Computer and on Phones, Laptops.
Or still buy a normal WiFi router with WAN and LAN ports.

Answer 1

AirGrid breaks a long distance not with power, but with directionality. An ordinary home router spreads the signal in all directions. AirGrid concentrates all the power (not at all a lot) in one direction.
Remove the reflector (grille) and feel the difference. Without a grate, it "shines" much wider. Although it is still directed, but you can try. And keep in mind that the emitter is directed to the grating. Not forward, but backward, so that the beam is reflected from the grating. Therefore, if you remove it from the grill, then turn it in the opposite direction.

Answer 2

SOHO Router mode and turn on NAT ... try this ..
In general, sell it and buy a regular router The
thing is powerful, designed to penetrate from ten kilometers, and not huddle in an apartment 10 meters away, Wi-Fi radiation is also not small, reduce it to settings
