Mesh Network

Question

I'd like to build a mesh network to cover rooms with low singal but also have "advanced features" such as VPN, DynamicDNS among others.

I was thinkingin in using Nighthawk RAX40 WiFi 6 connected to the ISP router with ethernet that would handle all the "advanced features".

The problem I have is that I have no clue which Mesh reapeaters will work, if any.

So the questions are:

Which repaters are compatible with it? Orbi repeaters? other Nighthawk routers? both?
Is there a way to build a mesh network with "advanced features" using other hardware?

Only EX series wifi extenders are compatible with RAX routers.

Something to post about in the RAX forum to get help on this particular model router:

any of netgears extenders will work with the RAX routers.

But if you're wanting the extender to support wifi 6, then you'd need a EAX extender.

That'd be the EAX80, EAX20, EAX18, EAX15
