HOW DO I make my router a repeater
I iwould like to make my Router a repeater so that I can utilize the older equipment to extend my network reception in my home. I need detailed instructions on how to do this.
A Mesh system is slightly different, but the overall concept is similar - in a mesh systems, the nodes communicate with each others and is no top-down hierarchy. And yes, you can use on router the same SSID as on the APs, it doesn't need to be different
SWEET
Your a Goldmine of Info ... so its allmost like a roaming mesh system if I have them all named the same. SSID
i had assumed the same name SSID Access Points would interfere with each other, great info thanks...
Can same be said of the actual Router? I assume that has to have a different SSID to the Access Points? Or if the Same SSID was on the X6 Router and the AC1700 APS would I have a lovely house wide mesh system or MAYHEM if all three of the router included had same SSIDS
thanks for info
