About RAX120

Hi all, I am wondering to buy a new router because I would like to upgrade my old R8500.

But I have a question, Is it possible for RAX120 get wire backhaul like aimesh?

    If there is no possible for AX12's backhaul, I may buy AX11000

      Hello kvtong93 - May you tell us a little more of what you're trying to accomplish? You may use the RAX120 as your main host router and connect the R8500 as a wired access point allowing you to utilize both routers.

        Christian_R do both the RAX120 in router mode and the R8500 in AP wired mode support  SmartConnect so the same SSIDs can be used, and we have some basic "mesh" (completely abused in the consumer marketing) WiFi roaming support?
