No, the FWA505 does not support wireless Smart Mesh. This means it cannot connect to other access points over Wi-Fi to extend coverage.
[Q] What if I connect the FWA505 to another access point with a cable and configure the same SSID?
Answer:
Yes, you can do that. Devices will see the same Wi-Fi network and will be able to move between access points. However, this is not Mesh — it is simply a wired network with multiple access points sharing the same SSID.
[Q] What is the difference between Smart Mesh and using the same SSID?
Answer:
Smart Mesh: Access points connect to each other wirelessly without Ethernet cables, with centralized management, automatic topology handling, and load balancing.
Same SSID: Access points are connected by Ethernet, and client devices decide when to roam. Roaming depends on the client device’s drivers and algorithms, not on Mesh intelligence.
But our other devices can support this technology; the entire list can be checked directly in the Nebula help. For example, the USG LITE 60AX security router and many access points also support smart mesh in Nebula.
