Mesh networks

[MattF]

Do all units on a mesh network have to be the same model, or can you mix models, (same manufacturer), & connect them to each other?

I use Αsus and they have a range of models compatible, they are called “AI mesh” or similar. You can use a powerful one for main hub then use cheaper nodes if you wish.

Depends, but usually. TP link deco mix and match. Amazon likewise.

Can't remember what I use, they are all the same make but the newest part is a newer generation, still plays nicely with the other kit

Cheers. I'll have a play & see if I can get them working together then. It's Tenda MW6's & MX12's.

Had a quick go earlier, no luck, but didn't spend overly long trying.

Not having much luck so far. The app seems to give different options depending which units I connect to, & they don't seem to want to coexist, currently. I may just be missing something obvious.

To add the new one I just did the wps button, never bothered with the app
