Adding the EAX15 AX1800 gives me full strength in the garage and everything is running more smoothly that way.

Yes try this one for sure.
The EX one you poste is older and not supporting of AX modes.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
