ASUS ZenWiFi XD6 and the BE7200 (RT-BE88U) compatible in mesh mode?

I understand maybe wifi pro wouldn't work. But would I still be able to share the main wifi and 1 guest wifi, using ASUS ZenWiFi XD6 and the BE7200 (RT-BE88U) in mesh mode?

Hey there,

The ZenWiFi XD6 and RT-BE88U (BE7200) can technically work in mesh mode, but you might run into some limitations, especially with advanced features like WiFi Pro.

For your main Wi-Fi and guest Wi-Fi setup, you should be able to share both networks across the mesh, as long as you're using a consistent configuration. However, keep in mind that mixing different models (like the XD6 and BE7200) may affect performance or stability of the mesh connection compared to using two identical units.

In short, you can definitely get the basics like your main Wi-Fi and guest Wi-Fi working across the mesh, but it's a good idea to test it out first to make sure everything behaves as you expect.

Yes as long as you don't expect WiFi 7 from the XD6.
