    Hi @burnt

    Thank you for reaching out!

    It sounds like you'd like to create a roaming scenario where your devices can seamlessly switch between your NR5307 router and the NWA55AXE access point. If that's the case, here's how you can achieve it:

    1. Connect the Access Point:Use an Ethernet cable to connect your NWA55AXE to your NR5307 router. This ensures a stable connection between the two devices.
    2. Match Wireless Settings:
      • Set the SSID (WiFi network name), password, and security mode (WPA2/WPA3) on the NWA55AXE to match the settings on your NR5307.
      • This allows your devices to automatically switch between the two without needing to reconnect manually.
