Mesh network with FWA510 router with 2 x NWA50AX?
Hi guys, I hope you can help me, as I am stuck on this matter.
I have a FWA510 Nebula router (5G is my only option…), but have moved to a new place, where I need to use repeaters or set-up a mesh.
For this purpose I have bought 2 x NWA50AX APs as they are also Nebula compatible, so I work within the same environment - It is important to note that the APs will not have a wired connection to the FWA510!
I have tried activating Smart mesh on both APs, with the same SSID and Password as configures on the FWA510, but with no succes.
I have tried checking some of the guides on the topic and the manual, but maybe I have missed something crucial?
Thank you.

Hi @CrixD,
The FWA510 does not support mesh feature. This is why you cannot connect them with SmartMesh.

Hi Melen,
appreciate the answer.
Wouldn't it still be possible for them to function as wireless repeaters?
Thank you

Hi @CrixD,
Do you mean NWA50AX? If yes, NWA50AX has the mesh function. So, it can act as wireless repeaters with Zyxel access points. However, FWA510 does not support the mesh function. Therefore, you cannot build the mesh system because there is no root AP.

Can I use the 50 AX as an AP if it is wired to the FWA510?
