420 AP without data cable?

Hi All,

can we use the 420 wireless Access point without connecting a data cable into it. i mean can we configure it to take the signal from another access point then repeat it or forward it to cover wider area?

Hi

Only the 530 APs can do that, but not the 420s.

Good Luck !!!

Hi Abdullah,

WDS, or wireless bridging, is a feature on the AP530 that would allow for forwarding a wireless signal from one AP530 to another. Unfortunately, the AP420 does not have WDS as an option.

Accept or Kudo
