Best solution for bridging with AX-class APs?
I'm also wondering about what performance I'd get. Since there's not a separate radio for backhaul, I suppose that a lot of cases would involve double wireless transmission on the same channel (wireless client->AP->other AP->wired client) and so at best half of the nominal performance. How well will that work out? Should I consider a different topology, that is just one wireless AP and then separate units doing nothing but bridging? If so, what gear would work well for the bridging part?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi @tgl
The feature for your scenario to implement is the Wireless bridge, and the WAX610D supports wireless bridge but NWA210AX doesn’t.
Also, the WAX610D output power is larger than NWA210AX and WAX610D has dual-optimized antenna that would be configurable to meet user’s deployment needs especially mesh environment.
We’ll suggest you to use Nebula to manage and build mesh with wireless bridge because the configurations will be easier and another plus is WAX610D sold with bundled license for Nebula.
