Already equipped with a rbk50 system (router + 1 satellite) I would like to extend my wifi coverage.
Can I install a second RBK50 system (router+satellite) with the same wifi name to make this extension.
Thank you 😉

Can install the RBS from the 2nd RBK system. The RBR from the 2nd RBK system can only work as the main router or in AP mode.

Understood for the RBS. Easy.
What is the AP mode for the second RBR ?
Merci 😉

Re: Duplicate/Extend a RBK50 installed solution
AP mode turns the RBR into a separate kind of working RBS that has to be connected via ethernet cable and would run it's own separate wifi SSID name and channels. Wont integrate into the main RBK system but can help provide additional coverage if needed in this capacity.
