AX1800
Is it possible to use the AX1800 with a Fritzbox 7530AX mesh router, using the Fritzbox as one node and having the AX1800 in a different room to extend the signal? Thanks
What actual AX1800 device is it?
If its an extender, probably***
If its a router, then you can but you'd need to hardwire it in in access point mode. it won't integrate into the mesh but you could use it.
***You might check with fritzbox because their mesh setup tends to be a little proprietary and sometimes its easier/faster/more stable to go with one of their mesh extenders versus trying to use a 3rd party.
The AX1800 is the Netgear EAX20 Wifi Mesh extender
The Fritzbox is my router.
So, can I have the EAX20 in another part of the house and create one mesh network using the mesh router and mesh extender?

plemans has already started with an answer to that.
Mesh is a two-way process. It depends on routers and satellites talking to one another. Asking a Netgear satellite to play nicely with a Fritzbox router may be a bridge too far.
As plemans suggests, you might like to start by talking to the Fritzbox people about how their routers work with satellites. Satellites are secondary. The router determines what the Mesh system can do.
Thanks very much. I'll try fritzbox
