Connecting two WAC510 to the same network

[EastsideDev]

My network configuration:

- Cable modem

Can I have one WAC510, connected to the cable modem, with the WAC510 set up as a router (DHCP), and the output from this WWAC510, going into my PoE switch, and have a second WAC510 connected to the PoE switch, set up as an Access Point, and have them both have the same SSID, so I don't have to switch between the two WAC510s, as I move about the location?

Hi  EastsideDev,

Welcome to Netgear Community.

 The simple network setup with WAC510 you are looking for should work(Refer image attached). With same wireless configuration on both WAC510, You can move between APs. Please let us know if you face any issues.

There could be bottle necks if you setup complex wireless networks. Please share how exactly you want to setup wireless networks(configurations), So that we can help more on that.

Thanks.
