Nighthawk LAX20

Hi,

 

does the LAX20 support the so called WISP or EXTENDER Mode to take internet connection from a WIFI Hotspot and share it over the LAX20's own WIFI? If yes, is it possible over 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz?

 

Thank you!

 

Ralph

  • Hi Cybertax,

    LAX20 does not support the WISP or Extender mode feature. LAX20 uses WWAN so you just use a SIM from ISP you subscribed to and it provides cellular connectivity on the WAN side there is no need for a hotspot. In layman's terms, the LAX20 has an LTE Module inside that allows users to get Internet over LTE/cellular network.
