Bridge with 2 WAX610 Access Points

Hello everyone.

I created a bridge using 2 AP WAX610 according to the documentation, and it all seems to work well, in the sense that I can see the Bridged ("slave") AP showing that it is connected to the Master one.

However I cannot see any device connected to the slave AP ... does this mean that no device is connected there or just that I cannot see any because it is on bridge mode?

How can I know if a certain device is connected to the master or the slave?

Thank you.

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Business Wireless - NETGEAR Communities

    You might like to search there for messages related to your issue.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    In bridge mode, only hardwired devices "connect" to it. It doesn't act as a mesh access point.
