You need to configure each AP manually with the same SSID settings. That's one of reasons we developed Insight to make setup easier.

I can configure 3 WAX610 AP manually with the same SSID settings as the AX6000 Router . But there is no AC device in the LAN, Is it can support Phone/Pad/Notebook roaming in deferent rooms and automatic switching the AP ?

I don't know why you need an AC device in the LAN. Generally wireless clients can roam and switch among APs with the same SSID and passphase.

Hey BruceGuo, glad you're back!
Does Insight allow to configure the 802.11r Mobility Domain ID (not accessible to the user in the local Web UIs for whatever reason - probably protectionism or prohibition!) over the Orbi Pro WiFi 6, the WAC5xx and WAX6xx, (and for my own curiosity also the Orbi Pro) - just as it does on bunches of WAC5xx and WAX6xx installations?
TonyTest The ability to seamless roaming is not a question of 802.11ac or 802.11ax (WiFi 6). However, it's correct that elderly devices (no OS support, no driver support) might not have the ability to handle 802.11r, 802.11k, and 802.11v properly, and might remain as sticky clients on a "bad" AP for a longer time.
