Switch router between repeater & emitor mode
Switch router between repeater & emitor mode
How can I switch back and forth my ax63 router from repeater to main router mode?
We have 2 routers, AX55 main router and ax63 repeater mode in 2 different buildings, each one separately linked to Starlink mesh through Ethernet cable.
The reason is Starlink can connect only one router at a time, so when the main router is on, the repeater can function. I would like to also be able to use the Ax63 as main router when the AX55 is off.
How can I result switch mode (router/repeater). For the moment wifi works only when the AX55 is on, only one network appear. The ax63 does not appear as a second or independant network to connect to.

Of course there's a difference between two routers in Easymesh and two routers (main router and and router in AP mode).
In first case the SSID is the same for the two devices and they emitting one wireless network - that's the purpose of a mesh network.
In second case every router emits a different wireless network (even with the same SSID).
If both routers are in Easymesh the only way to use AX58 for a main router is to reset to factory defaults and configure as such.
If you want to join AX58 back to Easymesh of AX55 you have to reset AX58 to factory defaults and add to the AX55 Easymesh.
Setting AX58 in AP mode is quite different than setting AX58 in Easymesh. I alredy posted AP mode configuration guide.
Here's how to add AX58 in Easymesh to AX55.
Here's a guide for building Easymesh with an ethernet backhaul (if you use ethernet connection between AX55 and AX58).
Note: To use AX58 in an ethernet backhaul Easymesh it has to be HW v2 - you can check that on its bottom sticker.

Ok thanks, that's clarifies a lot.
Would the wifi extension from Ax55 work as well with Ax58 in AP mode as in Easymesh satellite mode (which is also a form of AP mode ASI understand)?

Yes, it will work as well when AX58 is in AP mode.
The difference is the seamless roaming of your wireless client devices which Easymesh offers.
