Mesh Network

Mesh Network

I'd like to build a mesh network to cover rooms with low singal but also have "advanced features" such as VPN, DynamicDNS among others.

 

I was thinkingin in using Nighthawk RAX40 WiFi 6 connected to the ISP router with ethernet that would handle all the "advanced features".

The problem I have is that I have no clue which Mesh reapeaters will work, if any.

 

So the questions are:

  • Which repaters are compatible with it? Orbi repeaters? other Nighthawk routers? both?
  • Is there a way to build a mesh network with "advanced features" using other hardware?

Re: Mesh Network

Only EX series wifi extenders are compatible with RAX routers. 

Something to post about in the RAX forum to get help on this particular model router:

Good Luck

Re: Mesh Network

any of netgears extenders will work with the RAX routers. 

But if you're wanting the extender to support wifi 6, then you'd need a EAX extender. 

That'd be the EAX80, EAX20, EAX18, EAX15
