    The wired WAX630E will become a root automatically with the Mesh mode enabled.

Thanks for your reply.

 

If I have the WAX630E as root unit and I have one WAX630E as one extender is there a tabletop access point that would work with this system?

WAX630E is access point to enlarge your wifi coverage, it doesn't have root function so far.

You should setup up router and have one more WAX630E AP to extend your wifi coverage. or consider Orbi Pro product (one router+ one Satellite).

      Thank you for your reply.
      As far as setting up mesh system, if I have 3 WAX630 equally spaced it only one location has Ethernet cable, does that one need to be setup as root or can one of the others be “root”?
