Apple Netgear Nighthawk App only seeing access point
I have a R8000P as my main router with an X4 R7500 in AP mode. When I try to use the nighthawk app it only sees the access point. I have separate SSIDs for the AP so I know I am connected to the main ...
It is a bit more complex than most home networks. I have a Ras PI set up as an Ad blocker for my home network. That is the device that is acting as my home networks DHCP and DNS server. My main router points DNS at the PI and has DHCP disabled so it does not interfere with the PI. Everything works fine but the app was being weird. However, we had a power outage for a couple hours last night and the app is working properly again so not sure what was going on or why it could not see the main router. But it is all good now. I do appreciate the insight you provided.
I am trying to connect locally. And cannot enable anywhere access without first connecting locally. As you can see in the pictures attached, it looks like the device is there but it is actual the R7500 and it is failing to connect regardless (probably bc the R7500 does not support the app anyway)
