I see no mention of being able to use 2 or 3 of these things in an Wi-Fi extender type of scenario that I can do with my current Airport Extreme routers.

- gregpilling 11y agoI was wondering the same thing.
- tomkinstinch 11y agoTheir FAQ suggests increasing coverage by having one unit act as the router (doing NAT), and having others act as (bridged) access points: https://support.google.com/onhub/answer/6275097?vid=1-635755167092747292-3029280237307171546 https://support.google.com/onhub/answer/6275097?vid=1-635755...
- fraXis 11y agoThis method seems really cumbersome compared to the Airport Extreme and their wireless bridging method.
- izacus 11y agoEhm... that's pretty much the exact same method you use on Airport Extreme if you care about speeds (one being the NAT machine, others APs connected with cables). If you're doing the wireless bridge you're trading off a lot of wireless bandwidth (and added noise) just to get data from one Airport to another. Far from an optimal setup.
