WAC540 range extender
HI all,
I have a RAX40 Nighthawk router, can I use a WAC540 connected through LAN to the router to extend its network using the mesh principle? Do manage the WAC540 do I need the insight subscription or can I do it also locally from the network?
Thank you a lot!
Welcome to our community! :)
The Mesh feature is only available if you have more than 1 WAC540 and WAC564. This will only work on these 2 devices. You may need a home device for your Nighthawk router as it is not compatible with our business class units.
