All range-extenders / mesh kits will work with your Kibosh MT6000.
With one big caveat: so that you can see and manage every device connected to a range-extnder from your Kibosh Portal, that range-extender must be in Bridge Mode.
Q: What is Bridge Mode?
A: Essentially it’s means ‘pass through’ so that the range-extender will not perform any routing on it’s own, becoming a seamless relay for the Kibosh Router.
NOTE: there are two types of WiFi range-extender install design methods:
- Multiple WiFi SSID: each range-extender will broadcast it’s own WiFi SSID.
- Example: Kibosh (the main WiFi), Kibosh_2 (range-extender #1), Kibosh_3 (range-extender #2), etc.
- A Single WiFi SSID: all range-extenders use the same WiFi name – in other words, a Mesh setup.
Method #1 is easy to setup and any WiFi range-extender will work.
Method #2 is a bit more difficult, and only WiFi range-extenders that offer Bridge Mode.
We all want Method #2 which is what we will focus on.
Range Extenders known to support Bridge Mode:
- TP-Link Deco in Access Point / Bridge Mode
- Orbi in Access Point / Bridge Mode
- Unifi in Access Point / Bridge Mode
