Using RE605X AX1800 Wi-Fi Range Extender as Wireless bridge

2021-03-27 14:40:22 - last edited 2021-04-01 06:02:27

Model: RE650

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version:

I want to use RE605X AX1800 WiFi range extender as a wireless bridge. I want to connect this extender to my existing WiFi network and connect another router to the extenders Ethernet port. ( |Existing Wifi Router| >>> wifi >>> |range extender|----(ethernet)----|another router|----(ethernet)----|computer| )

I couldn't find the user-manual for RE605X so don't know if this is possible. Can someone tell me if the range extender would support the above suggested setup?

@harshatech2012 Hello,

Thank you for your detailed post.

Yes, you could use RE605X as a Wireless bridge to connected 2 routers in the same house. And 2nd router should work in Access Point Mode to avoid conflict with first router.

Recommended Topology: 1st router ))) ((( RE650X ----2nd router ( AP Mode) ----PC

Before set up the connection, please make sure first router ----2nd router are working when connected through Ethernet cable.
