Subject: Mesh Configuration with LT500 and WR1300 Routers

Dear Support Team,

I understand that the LT500 can only function as a main Mesh router and cannot be used as a satellite node.

I currently have three routers:

LT500

WR1300

LT500

Two of the LT500 units have access to the internet via 4G.

Is it possible to set up a Mesh network where all three devices are working together?

For example:

LT500 (main) + WR1300 (satellite)

The second LT500 (also with 4G) + the same WR1300 (as a satellite again)

In other words, can the same WR1300 be linked as a Mesh satellite to two separate LT500 routers?

Thank you for your assistance.

@Tahseen,
We suggest 8 nodes.

“Hello, how many Cudy M3000 V2 AX3000 V2.0 https://www.cudy.com/products/m3000-2-0 can be used in a Mesh environment? Is there any threshold to signal strength (RSSI). Thanks, Tahseen”

@Andre van der weide,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you!
Please set the SSID of M3000 separately on 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Then connect to the 5GHz WiFi if the clients support 5GHz. The 2.4GHz is not as good as the 5GHz if the signal strength is weak.

@Dear Fouad,

Yes, you can install mesh system with them via Wi-Fi or wired cable.
