Hi I bought two Netgear AC2000 R6850 WIFI Router. I confirgured the first one and validate everything works fine. I now want to configured my second WIFI Router as a bridge, to have my WIFI ...
Hi Plemans,
If I may ask you a last one.
Since I have:
- One Modem
- On Router ZyXEL (Provided bu my Internet provider, WIFI deactivated)
- Two Netgear AC2000 R6850
And I connect to this router ZyXEL
- One NAS Disk Station
- 1st Netgear AC2000 R6850
- 2nd Netgear AC2000 R6850
>>> Should I configured both Netgear AC2000 R6850 in "Access Point mode" ?
And, may I configured with the same SSID name, so I just see one SSID (well, two for 2.4G and 5G)
Thank you,
Thierry

Yes if your zyxel is functioning in router mode, you'd want both R6850's in ap mode.
again, you sure can use the same ssid for both devices. They'll be more "sticky" than a mesh device but you can use the same ssid.
