Is it possible to operate a Zyxel NWA55AXE AP as a Wifi repeater without a second Zyxel device ?

Marco1293 · June 2022

I would like to operate the Zyxel NWA55AXE AP only as a repeater, purely via Wifi (without LAN) with a Telekom router without a second Zyxel device is that possible?

Or do I need a second Zyxel device connected to LAN as a bridge?

Hi @Marco1293

Sorry, we don’t support connecting another brand AP via wireless.

You need a second Zyxel AP as a root AP to connect NWA55AXE and LAN.

If you want to set up Smart mesh on Nebula, you can refer to this article from Zyxel Forum

If you want to set up Mesh in the standalone mode, you can refer to this article
