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!

    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.
