I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to networking and would be very grateful for some advice, please.I've just moved into a new house which has UFB from 2degrees. They have supplied a very nice Fritzbox 7560 with it. The ONT is in the garage with ethernet cable running from there to four of the rooms. It looks as if the previous owners had their router in there. However, we would rather have the router in the lounge, which is a more central location for the wifi and for the landline connection into it. Also, we would like to block/static route the Google DNS IPs to continue to parallel import certain stuff. My thought would be to get a non-wifi router that handles static routes etc to put in the garage to handle the distribution around the house and the plug the Fritzbox into one of its ports that runs into the lounge. There are some questions around that:Would that actually work?Can I still run the landline off the Fritzbox if it has been bridged?What would be the best non-wifi router to get that is generally available (from PB Tech for example, if that's not heresy to suggest)?If I can't run the landline a bridged Fritzbox, what wifi router would be recommended?How do I bridge routers? Many thanks
