Cax80 compatibility
What mesh devices are compatible with the cax80? I'm kinda new to networking. I really don't want to switch modems but will if I absolutely have to. Need help with building a mesh network with the cax...
- Oct 21, 2023The router part of your CAX80 is not compatible with Mesh so you'll have to buy a complete Mesh package (router + satellites) so that's why I mentioned putting the CAX80 in bridge otherwise you'll end up with 2 separate LANs that can't talk to each others (double NAT)
You can control it by going to http://192.168.1.1

Thanks for the reply! How do I do that? After I do that do I just purchase the satellites like mk63?
