Setup Boost Wifi 6 Lite as an access point to extend existing LAN?

Hey all, got fibre installed 10 days ago and finally getting to cleaning up what the tech left me with. He was great, but custom lan setups aren't his job.

Currently my NAH connects to my router (Asus RT-AC86U) that is aptly handling all my family's routing needs, including 2 Telus TV Digital Boxes over ethernet.

Documentation (online or otherwise) is quite light as I suspect Telus wants it to be the centre of the universe and not really tinkered with by most users.

Can I just factory reset it, connect it to a Lan port on my existing router, and it will figure out that I want it to be another AP to extend my existing SSIDs?

Thanks

    Hey Hoser25 - Our Boost Lites work together as APs so I don't believe that you'll be able to extend your Asus router's network. You might be able to set them up and login to their UI to change the SSID and Password and that may work but one must be connected via ethernet to your Asus router.

     

    You might run into interference issues though
