orbi wifi + wax610y in network
Hi
I have a Wifi mesh system (rbk852) system and a WAX610Y access point for outdoor.
However, I looked if I can give the WAX610Y the same SSID as the mesh network, such that my phone is always connected with the best network performance. However, I could not find anything which makes this possible.
Now, I sometimes have that my phone is still connected to the outdoor access point while I would have a better reception when it would be connected to the mesh routers.
is there a way that I can accomplish this?
Regards,
Greetje

Would not be recommended to use same SSID between two different products.
It's up to wifi devices to pick and choose where they connect too. Most devices today can save profiles on where they've been connected, even if different SSIDs and can connect to them automatically.
Use the Insight app for accessing the WAX AP.
