XR500

Hi all

I just bought an XR1000 and I have an XR500, so I was thinking to place the XR500 on my second floor without need cable connection to replicate the XR1000 signal. It's possible? Can I make my XR500 to work as a mesh?

    The XR500 doesn't have extender/repeater mode.

    You could hardwire it in via ethernet connection, powerline connection, or moca adapter (ethernet over coax) and use it in access point mode.

      Would just reiterate the above, using it in AP mode will be your best option.
