WAX214 and RBK352

Is the Netgear WAX214 WiFi 6 / AX1800 / Access point compatible with RBK352?  So can the WAX214 join in the same mesh network? or will it create a separate one?

 

Thanks

Compatible in what aspect, in which deployment scenario? 

 

The WAX214/218 are intended to be standalone managed wireless access points, connected by a network cable to a router - this can be for example the RBR350 router (ideally) or if desperately required a RBS350 connected by a wireless "mesh" backhaul to the RBR350.

 

There is no way to connect the WAX214/218 wireless to the RBK352 Mesh, however on a LAN connection it can be configured to the same SSID and security settings like the RBK352 kit. The management of the WAX214/218 is standalone, it does not integrate with the proprietary Orni RBK352 management, so it adds a dedicated management point.
