Does router unit SXR80 have wifi???

Hi all,

just got my system setup (1 router and 2 satellites) and looking at topology, all of my wifi devices seem to be connected to the satelittes and none to the router.

Given the layout of my house, I was expectecting the router to handle one half of the wifi coverage. But nothing seems to be connected directly to it.

Any ideas?

It's running in router mode - but I assumed it could do that and be a wifi access point at the same time.

Many thanks,

Mike

    It does. 

    If you just set it up, you can try giving it a couple days. 

    or you can try shutting off the satellite and seeing if any connect to the router.
