Nighthawk App new Extender
I have the R7800 router with the wifi disabled as it's in a poor location for wifi. I do allow it to run the network which has been great. I added the EAX80 with a wired connection to allow it to work at an AP since its wifi is much better. It was set up great and worked perfectly and both could be seen in the Nighthawk app. Now to get a little more range on the other side of the house I added the EAX15 via the Nighthawk app. After it was all setup I was able to see it until I switched to another device and now I can no longer view either extender in the nighthawk app. They are still online and able to be seen with their ip addresses, which are static for easy access. I'm at a loss on how to add them to the nighthawk app.

Added how? Wired to what?

- Added with the app so wireless, it's an extender. Evrything works but I can not see anything other than the router on the nighthawk app now. Before I was able to see the r7800 and eax80

Is this local? Or Anywhere Access?
I ask because my R7800 is on Anywhere Access and can see everything on my network. But my R7800 has the wifi on in Smart Connect mode. But it is also in AP mode. So not quite comparable.
