WAX206 fails in AP mode
I returned the first WAX206 thinking it was faulty, but the replacement has the same issue. When I configure it in 'router' mode, it works fine. However, when I change the mode to 'access point', it ...
The CM1200 is a modem only device. It does not have routing/dhcp/nat capability. A router needs to be connected to it.
That's why the WAX works when connected in router mode but not in access point mode.
If you're wanting the WAX to be in access point mode, then you'd need a router before it.
so CM1200---->router--->WAX (in ap mode)
Or you can use the WAX in router mode.
