Connecing a WAC510 to a Nighthawk Mesh System
I'm trying to set up a new access point on my cousin's network. Her old Accepoint died. I was going to replace it with a WAC510. Her office is away from the main house and is connect via a wireles...
I am just connecting directly to the router. The bridge is not in play until I get the Access Point communicating with the network.
When I connect to my home network the Access Point work just fine.
When i connect to the nighthawk, it does not get to the green stage.
All thing being equal it should work on both if directly connected. I suspect that there is something in the nighthawk that is preventing it from becoming active but I don't know what.
What mesh system is it? (mk60? mk80?)
What modem/gateway is the mesh system connected to?
Why not try factory resetting the access point and connecting it to the nighthawk system and running setup? just seems like it could be something that you're doing when setting it up on your system that its causing a bad setting/issue.
