Wi-Fi 7 Booster as a regular AP

Hi all,

I got 3 gbps service installed today and received a Wi-Fi 7 booster as well.

I set the NH20A to bridge mode on the 10 gbps port and my Unifi router is acting as the router, which is nice. However, the remaining ports on the NH20A are not giving away Unifi's IP address, still generating 192.168.0.0 addresses. Is this normal? Is there any way to make these ports to work as a regular switch?

I connected the Wi-Fi 7 booster to my network. It's receiving an IP address from Unifi but it's not accessible on that address. When I connect to the booster's AP, it's giving out 192.168.0.0 IP address. Is there a way to make it work as a regular AP and let the Unifi router provide IP addresses to clients?

Thanks all!

    Thanks for reaching out. What you’re experiencing is expected behavior when the NH20A is in bridge mode. The remaining ports still operate with the default 192.168.x.x addressing and cannot be fully converted to a pure switch. Regarding the Wi-Fi 7 booster, when connected in this setup, it will also issue its own 192.168.x.x addresses in AP mode. Currently, there isn’t a way to have it fully rely on your Unifi router for DHCP.
