Using a XMG3927-B50A router as a WiFi Extender

JesterMinute

Hi there

I have 2 XMG3927-B50A routers. One is my main ISP supplied for my broadband. I want to configure the other one as a WiFi extender, I thought this would be easy but lost!

Hello @JesterMinute

Welcome to the forum.

Looking at the user manual for XMG3927-B50A at https://download.zyxel.com/XMG3927-B50A/user_guide/XMG3927-B50A_V5.13_5.50.pdf linked from https://www.zyxel.com/uk/en-gb/products/dsl-cpe/dual-band-wireless-ac-n-g-fast-gateway-xmg3927-b50a what you want to do is not supported.

You could look to use Multy Pro as a WiFi extender as a Mesh, or look to use other WiFi extenders such as those listed at https://www.zyxel.com/uk/en-gb/products/wifi-extender

I hope that this is helpful.

Kind regards,

Tony
