Zyxel AP with Zyxel WIFI Extender....

Randall_Flagg

I have a Zyxel BE1100 wifi access point as I do not want to use the wifi capability on my router. I have a dead zone in the back of my house and I bought the AX1800 wifi extender as a simple solution.

Why is that no matter what I do, I cant add the AX1800 to Nebula nor can i get it to act as a repeater for the SSIDs managed by the BE1100...

Please help i feel like im getting dumber by the second...

Hi @Randall_Flagg

Each device utilizes different mesh technologies such as WDS, ZyMesh, Smart Mesh, and others. It's important to note that these different mesh systems are not always compatible with each other. To extend your wireless coverage using mesh connections, it's advisable to choose an access point that supports the same mesh technology as your root AP.

In Nebula cloud mode, we establish mesh connections using Smart Mesh technology. To find models that support Smart Mesh, you can explore the range of access point models offered on our website: https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wireless

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.
