RAX120 + NIGHTHAWK® MESH WIFI 6

[robertoselmi]

Is it possible to use a NIGHTHAWK® MESH WIFI 6 system connected to a RAX120 router to increase coverage? If it is, how?

Hi robertoselmi,

Yes, you can connect the Nighthawk Mesh system to a RAX120. You will need to set the Nighthawk Mesh system to access point mode to accomplish this.

In this way the RAX120 publishes the SSIDs and the two non-wired mesh objects republish the same SSIDs, if I move from one place to another I keep the connection because the SSID does not change and I roam transparently. Correct?

Any response?

Hi robertoselmi,

Ultimately it's up to your client devices to actually switch to the access points. there's nothing the access points can do to force the switch. However, generally clients will switch when they see a much stronger signal.

Hi Christian,

I understand, my question is more related to the efficiency of the mesh system, the management is shared between the three devices, so the association of the mac address is orchestrated, or is it only between the two meshes?
