I’ve setup my W161 mesh. I’d also like to add another satellite for a set up of 1 main router and 2 satellite routers, after numerous set up tries the satellite to be added continuous to reflects a pink light. So, what are the steps to take to change the operation mode of my W161 to Access Point Mode?
W161 to Access Point Mode.

Firstly, regarding the W161 system:
It includes one main unit and one satellite, which are non-interchangeable. Unfortunately, you cannot add additional satellites to this system, as it is specifically designed to function with only one main and one satellite unit.
To set up the W161 in Access Point mode, you’ll need an existing router or Wi-Fi cable modem with an active internet connection.
Please refer to the link below for detailed instructions on how to configure the W161 in Access Point mode.
