Mesh 2 Standalone NWA130BE
Accepted Solution

Hi @Fischje,
Thanks for your question!
Before we go into the configuration details, could you please confirm if the expected topology looks like this?
Internet —(wired)— Gateway —(wired)— Root AP_NWA130BE —(wireless)— Repeater AP_another NWA130BE
If this is correct, and both APs are operating in standalone mode, then you can use WDS to establish a wireless uplink between the two NWA130BE units.
Here is the To-Do list for setting this up:
- Connect all APs to the AP's uplink device through Ethernet cable.
- Configure the Root AP:
- Go to Configuration > Object > WDS Profile.
- Configure the WDS SSID. (Note that the WDS SSID and Pre-Shared Key on all APs are the same.)
- Go to Configuration > Wireless > AP Management to enable WDS on the radio interface and bind it to the profile.
- Configure the Repeater AP:
- Similarly, configure the WDS profile.
- Go to Configuration > Wireless > AP Management to bind it to the corresponding radio interface.
- Disconnect the LAN cable from the Repeater AP and reboot it at the intended location.
- Verification:
- (On Root AP) Go to Monitor > Wireless > WDS Link Info, and you will see the Repeater AP MAC address.
- (On Repeater AP) Go to Monitor > Wireless > WDS Link Info, and you will see the Root AP MAC address.
