Stand alone AP - MS60 satellite

Stand alone?

Can the MS60 or the MR60 work as stand alone access wired points for another router?

All help appreciated!

Yeah, the MR60 I already use as a AP in conjunction with the MS60. 

But, can the MS60 alone act as an AP with a wired connection to a router?

The MR60 has AP mode.


Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Check the section in the manual

 

Set up the router as a WiFi access point

You asked:

I answered that and explained where to look for the details.

I think not. The manual says nothing on that front.

No. The MS60 needs the MR60 to connect back to.
