Setting up two WAX630 as mesh without Netgear Insight (Standalone)
Hi everyone-- I recently bought two Netgear WAX630 as access points, a router and two switches to create a reliable network for once. Netgear insight looked promising at the beginning but turned out...
The problem that I intented to solve was not to have to run cables all over the place but to use two APs to bridge the network and also broadcast the Wifi to the other location.
The setup that I intended was to wire just one AP to the GC510P (which is connedted to a BR200 router, which is connedted to the internet) the other AP should extend the WiFI and bridge the network with a dedicated backhaul and be also connected to a switch (GC110p) to hardwire more devices. The second AP is currenty powered by a 802.3bt injector because the GC 110p is too weak to do the job :(
Does anyone of you know how to dedicate a wifi band (eg. 5Ghz high) to a WDS or SSID as backhaul.
Basically like instant mesh function in Netgear Insight does, so that no other device can use this band. I noticed that most devices on my network connect to 5Ghz high band even though this is the wireless connection the two APs use to talk to each other (WDS)
It would be great if you could point me into a direction of how to do it.
Thanks
Alex
