Model: Archer AX20

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 0

Hello,

I want to connect th AX20 to my home network and make it work as a repeater (for WiFi) , or if it's not possiable as a bridge-station

can I do it?

I want the 5Ghz will be the backbone (connection ) to my main router and the 2.4Ghz will be the AP

just connect the 5GHZ\2.4Ghz to my main router and connect using the ethernet

hope my question is easy to config :-)

*** if I need to update firmware or something - I will

Thanks,

AX20 doesn't support 'Range Extender' mode.

You can configure AX20 in AP mode (Case 1) and use both its 2.4/5GHz wireless bands to extend your wireless coverage.

The connection in this case would be an ethernet cable between your main router LAN port and the AX20 WAN port.

You can set the AX20 wireless SSID (for 2.4/5GHz bands) the same or different from these on your main router.

if your infrastructure doesn't allow this scenario, you could choose a device which supports a 'Range Extender' mode or WDS feature - here's a list of these devices.

This list should include devices like Archer AX11000 v1, Archer AX6000 v1 and Archer C64 as well.
