Model: Archer AX20  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0

Hello,

 

Is there a reason why OneMesh doesn't work when Archer AX20 is switched to a Access Point Mode? It shouldn't matter whether the system is in Router or AP mode.


Thanks!

@Eragon .

 

Probably, because in AP mode the device has a limited features available. Check this article.

Also according to this FAQ (Q7/A7) - while wireless routers support OneMesh only in router mode, modem routers support OneMesh on any operation mode.

@terziyski 

I have an Archer C7 and a RE200. I switched to AP mode and the RE200 no longer allows enabling one mesh. But the SSID extended is still the same orginal used with OneMesh in router mode before. Can SSIDs overlap without issues like this in repeater?

 

What is the difference between A7 and C7 that only A7 allows OneMesh in AP mode? The specs online look exactly the same!

I believe that won't be a problem, you won't have the seamless roaming offered by OneMesh though.

As far as I know the difference between C7 and A7 is only in distribution channels for selling these devices.

I doubt that A7 allows OneMesh in AP mode, check this thread.
