hello

I have a wireless mesh network with 3 nwa50ax. But I have just a simple question: can I extend this network adding a wsm20?

Can it connect and extend the mesh without problem?

Can I manage it from nebula as I manage the other access point?

    Hi @TipoTimido

    To extend your Smart Mesh network, all devices need to use the same mesh technology. The WSM20 (Multy M1) uses a different mesh technology than the NWA50AX access points. Additionally, the WSM20 is managed via the Multy App, not the Nebula Control Center, so it cannot be integrated or managed alongside your existing access points in Nebula.

    If you're looking for a security router that supports both Smart Mesh and Nebula cloud management, we recommend considering the USG LITE 60AX. This device not only meets your requirements but also provides subscription-free ransomware protection for enhanced network security. You can find more information about it here:
