Model: Festa F65-Outdoor  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I'm having trouble getting the Festa controller to recognize a F65-Outdoor as a wireless device. Does it not work like the Omada controller were, after power up and after a few minutes, the controller finds and allows provisioning as a wireless mesh? If i plug in the AP to the network it provisions fine, but i would like to use this more as a repeater to a remote location. I am trying to mesh the AP to a FR365 wirless router.

 

 

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

 

Thanks

Hi  @Subtech 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

Yes, unlike Omada, the Festa wireless gateway cannot form a mesh with APs. We recommend adding a new indoor Festa AP to create the mesh network.  

Below is a  product link for your reference:

  @Vincent-TP Thanks for that information. Might I suggest an edit to the spec sheet for the FR365 then as it clearly states it will Mesh(with EAP that supports Mesh). Do you know will that functionality will be rolled out in future firmware updates?

Hi  @Subtech 

 

Thanks for the feedback.

The FR365 is classified as a gateway router (with wireless functionality) rather than a wireless access point(EAP), so this statement is not inaccurate.

Unfortunatelty, we don't have a plan to provide firmware update to add this feature.
