Nighthawk access to EX8000
I have an RAX120 installed connected to Spectrum with 100mbps services. This router is fairly new and appears to be relatively stable and provides good performance. I have an EX8000 extender connected to this router via cat5 running in AP mode and have smart connect turnon. The SSID's for the RAX120 and EX8000 are different.
I can use the Nighthawk app to manage my RAX120 router but cannot access my EX8000. I need to go to my PC to access and managed the EX8000. I am under the impression I should be able to manage both my RAX120 and my EX8000 through the Nighthawk app. Am I missing something?

AP mode can break various features on routers, perhaps also on extenders.
You may need to find the IP address of the extender and use that as a way to get at its controls.

The manual, not always accurate, for the EX8000 makes no mention of access through the app.
