X6S AmA – Which Wi-Fi routers are compatible with the EX8000's 802.11k Fast Roaming/Fast Transition?

Hi cybrex,

Thanks for your question. 

Yes, 802.11k works out of the box. It's not necessary that router must support 11k but it would be ideal if your router and clients support 802.11k. Ethernet ports will act as lan port in extender mode. The connection to router will still be over wifi. In AP mode, you have the flexibility of using all three wifi bands on Nighthawk X6S and configure it to same ssid as your router if you want. It supports smart connect in AP mode. 

DFS will be supported in X6S. It's capable of 160MHz.
