FWA505

Winn

Hello, I have a FWA505 and I want to know if this product supports zyxel MESH ? I want to build a mesh network with a single ( 2in1 ) router, that mean if this FWA505 supports Zyxel MESH technology, the backhaul will have Ethernet WAN and 5G SIM simultaneously, right?

Can you recommend which zyxel MESH product which can establish MESH network with FWA505?

Thanks

Hi @Winn ,

The FWA505 doesn't support mesh technology via wireless connection, which means it cannot establish wireless mesh connections with any other devices.

Hi @Winn ,

To clarify, are you looking to set up an FWA505 along with other Zyxel devices to extend wireless coverage in your home or location, with these devices utilizing the FWA505's Ethernet WAN and 5G SIM connection?

If so, you don't need a mesh feature on the FWA505. Simply connect any Zyxel access points to the FWA505's LAN ports and configure them with identical SSID and security settings. For optimal roaming between devices, ensure the Wi-Fi coverage areas from the FWA505 and access points overlap by approximately 15-20%.

Dear Judy,

I am building a wireless mesh network in my place, with FWA505 (5GNR SIM Inside) as wireless WAN router, and I want to add some more MESH APs to my network without Ethernet cable connection. Therefore, I am looking for any MESH product which is compatible with FWA505. Thanks.
