Hi all.

 

I own an Archer AX53 router and I am planning to extend the network as Mesh using a TPLink extender as network speed when changing floors at home.

 

I wonder if it's possible to create, using a single device, a Mesh network for three SSID: Main 5ghz, guest 5ghz and IoT 2.4 GHz (the possibility to handle 6 different SSID is something I love from this router).

 

Thank you.

When building a mesh network with a range extender there's a known limitation that won't allow you to extend the main router guest and IoT networks through the RE.

Thanks for the info, this is what I was afraid of. @EmmaPeel007 finally used the AX53 as an AP paired with the ISP original router and got MESH-like functionalities playing a bit with the intended SSID use and the (lack of) mobility of some devices that would be connected to the overlapping networks. To date, using this suboptimal config, I have been able to make everything work OK
