Rete Mesh con due Netgear EX6250
Buongiorno a tutti,
la mia situazione è questa:
un EX6250 è collegato via ethernet (ad un router che non genera nessun wifi) come AP generando la rete che chiameremo Pippo (ok funziona tutto fin qui)
Se aggiungo un nuovo EX6250 sempre come ethernet o anche come ripetitore della rete Pippo, automaticamente fra i due si instaurerà una rete mesh? oppure devo procedere in qualche maniera particolare? oppure in questo caso la rete mesh fra i due non verrà utilizzata
ovviamente così via aggiungendone un terzo, un quarto, etc, etc, etc
Scusate la lunghezza

If you hardwire in another access point, it doesn't automatically create a mesh. You can set it with the same ssid/passwords but it doesn't enable the smart roaming features that they use when setup in extender/mesh. Just meaning devices won't roam as well as if you'd setup an actual mesh system. But it'll still work.
But mesh don't run even if only first is hardwired with router and the other extend wifi created by the first? and, last question, if both are hardwired with same router?
Thanks for the previous answer

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
The EX6250 is a mesh extender. It isn't a mesh system. the only netgear systems that offer wired and wireless backhaul connections in mesh is the orbi or MK series of nighthawk. The others a simple mesh extenders. If hardwired and ran as access points, they're not mesh devices. they can be set with the same ssid but their smart roaming isn't enabled and so devices won't roam the same
