RAX75 to be used as slave in mesh system
I currently have a RAX75 router and will be upgrading to a mesh system and i had a thought. I have alot of home automation connected devices security cameras, stove, washer and dryer door locks garag...
What I'd do?
Setup your mesh system and connect the RAX to it with the RAX in access point mode. And use a different ssid for it. Also make sure the wireless channels are different from the mesh system.
Then you can put your IoT devices on the RAX and leave the mesh for the higher bandwidth devices.
I do something similar at times in my own home.
awesome this is exactly what i was looking for but ill have to google how to change the ssid and access point portions, was thinking to get the Orbi mesh system possibly still researching

Be careful using Google for router configuration instructions. Best option is to go to the Downloads section at the top of this page and feed in your router model number (RAX75). It will take you to a page where you can download the user manual. The manual is a PDF document with a good index and table of contents. There are sections on operating mode and changing the SSID for your Wi-Fi.
The knowledge base article FURRYe38 provided is also a good reference.
