orbit Pro AX6000 Router + WAX610 AP , How to setup a same SSID just use the web ?
It is a office with 4 rooms, each room have wired port. And we have one Orbit Pro AX6000 Router and 3 WAX610 AP. We do not use Netgear Insight Cloud and Insight APP. Can I just use web b...
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.

HI, Kurt and Bruce,
There is some netgeart AC+AP solution for wifi5, like WC7600 + WAC720 in netgear.com .But no any AC model for WAX610, Does it mean that Wifi6 AP do not need AC.

These were controller based solutions, available with .11n and .11ac APs - dead end.

Orbi Pro WiFi 6 and WAX610 are of course also supporting 802.11ac (and earlier standards) wireless devices - just like the NETGEAR consumer WiFi 6 devices do.
There are many more APs along with the WAX610, but with "just" 802.11ac support, for example the WAC505, WAC510, WAC540, or WAC564 which fit into the line, and be local Web UI as well as Insight managed of course, too.

I'm afraid, don't understand what you try to ask here.
