One issue I'm now seeing, seems like when I added a EAX80 with most current version of FW,
It's not being seen on the NH app v2.41.0.34 or being tiled as Network Map to select for the EAX80 from the CAX30s main home page.
I can access it using it's static IP address (192.168.0.80) I set on the EAX80 that is out side of the CAX30s default IP address pool range which I changes to smaller size.
EAX80 shows it's connected and LEDs in front are all WHITE.
I don't see the EAX80 listed on the NG app and I believe it's not appearing on the CAX30 web ui, I need to confirm this again.
Can this be a Orbi app issue or a CAX30 FW issue?
Prior testing was with the EAX80 and CAX80 RS600 and it worked there.
So after I got home, I checked the NH app and CAX30 ui and saw that the EAX80 was being displayed in both areas. I was at work earlier so I was remote. Not sure if Anywhere Access and remote impacts how the EAX80 is being seen or displayed. Otherwise, it is working at home.
Checking someting today with the WEB UI, using MS Edge in Windows 11, on the basic tab/connected device page,
The column headers for each column, they are selectable however are not doing anything when selected. Would be a great feature to have this ability to sort the columns with any of these headers:
Especially by IP Address. đ
So after having the CAX30 in gateway mode since beta FW was loaded, I had setup a Orbi 960 series system in AP mode and shut off the CAX30s radios. All has been working well. Today I wanted to use the Orbi 960 in router mode and configure the CAX30 for modem only mode. I configured the 960 for router mode and disconnected it from the CAX30 prior to setting the CAX30 to modem mode. Disconnected all other LAN devices from the CAX30 and connected them to the RBR960. I connected on windows laptop to the CAX30 and using FireFox browser, went in and set the router mode from Yes to NO and selected apply. After about 15-30 seconds I expected the front LEDs to all turn OFF sans the power LED. I noticed that the 2.4 and 5Ghz radio LEDs were ON along with the laptop PC. I disconnected the laptop as the web ui said it was now rebooting the CAX30. Still front LEDs were ON for the radios. I had noticed that the front LEDs finally all went OFF then the wifi radios came back ON, then the downlink LEDs started blinking then the uplink and finally the Internet LED. Wifi LEDs remained ON and blinked.
I went head and connected the RBR960 router to port #1 and it got internet services. I checked the RBRs WAN port status and it had a WAN side IP address from my ISP, Sparklight. RBR reported having GOOD internet services.
CAX30 WIFI LEDS remain on. I pulled the power cord from behind the CAX30 for 20 seconds then plugged back IN. As the modem came online, WIFI LEDs are ON.
I pressed the front WiFi enable disable button on the CAX30 for 5 seconds and both WiFI LEDs turned OFF. I'll leave it for now.
I'm out of time to troubleshoot this more. I took a video of this happening as well.
