Hi,

over the last year i exchanged my Fritzbox mesh boxes with NWA50BE accesspoints. and also one NWA55AXE. because so far I didn't want to have my configuration depending on a cloud, I didn't connect them to nebula. And also because I have a GS2210-24HP as main switch, which is not nebula compatible.

I was wondering if it is possible to connect and manage them with a NXC2500 so far I havent been able to see them in the NXC in any way.

I'm planning to further remove any fritzox from my network and setum everything completely new. anny suggestions for that hardware to do it properly without managing every device by its own?

It should look something like this

Modem (ok, fritzbox with firewall as exposed host)

Firewall (I have a USG60W laying here) alternatively pfsense or if possible the NXC2500

main switch GS2210.24HP

NXC2500

multiple NWA50BE and one NXC55

Thank you.

    Hi @DirkK81

    The NWA50BE and NWA55AXE cannot be managed by the NXC2500 controller.

    1. The NXC2500 is a legacy (End-of-Life) controller and does not support the driver sets for modern WiFi 6 (AX) or WiFi 7 (BE) access points.
    2. Also, NWA50BE and NWA55AXE only support Nebula mode and standalone mode.

    If you want to have a centralized management, you may consider using Nebula CC.
