Extend Your WiFi Range with Multiple Link AX Units

Updated on

Link AX units can connect with other Link AX units to extend your WiFi network range. The main Link AX unit acts as the Master Link, while the secondary Link AX unit functions as the Client Link. After configuration, both Wi-Fi access points on the Master Link remain available, but the Client Link will have only one accessible access point (the other is used for connecting to the Master Link). It is advisable to perform a factory reset before setting up the Link AX.
