Two RAX54S Routers in a Mesh Network?
Can two RAX54S routers be configured as a mesh network? One will be the main router or uplink the other I would like to connect via a cable to the first.
Thanks
Kent
Since the RAX routers are not MESH or have any kind of MESH support, that would be no.

You can connect them and run the 2nd in access point mode.
You can even set them with the same ssid as the other networks.
But they aren't "mesh" so devices would be sticky and not roam as efficiently as an actual mesh system would.
or you could add a single mesh extender (not hardwired in) to the system.
