22 FastMile 5G Gateway User Guide Issue 1.0
Nokia WiFi Mesh
A mesh network of Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 and Beacon 3 products can
use the Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway as an access point to the WAN
while up to two Nokia WiFi Beacons aid with extending WiFi coverage
to every corner of the home, providing seamless roaming to
wireless connected devices.
Unlike typical WiFi networks that require unique SSIDs for each of
the access points or tedious set-up of WiFi extenders, which
complicate the user experience, a mesh network of Nokia WiFi
Beacons simplifies the user experience by providing easy device
onboarding and automated network optimization.
Adding a Nokia WiFi Beacon1 or Beacon3 to a mesh that has the FastMile
5G Gateway as the access point can be done through the WebGUI
described in this document. Alternatively, you can use Nokia WiFi App to
manage a network of Nokia WiFi Mesh network with Nokia WiFi Beacon
products. See Nokia WiFi app download chapter.
If you will be using the Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway in a mesh network
of Nokia WiFi Beacons, refer to the Nokia WiFi Beacon
documentation for more information about mesh networks and the
Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 and 3, including how to configure the Nokia WiFi
Beacon for use in the mesh.
Use this procedure to add a Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 or Beacon 3 to a
mesh that has the FastMile 5G Gateway as the access point.
