Configure AT&T ARRIS BGW210-700 with EAX80 AX6000 WiFi Range Extender

It only functions in mesh mode when ran in extender mode. That's what allows the smart roaming to function properly.
In AP mode, you can set it with the same ssid but the smart roaming doesn't function the same.
the only current devices that function with a hardwired backhaul and smart roaming are the Orbi series or MK nighthawk series.

- The BGW210 isn't a mesh router.
It certainly shows that it is a mesh router. See the screen shots I supplied. Oops, I see that my PNG screen shots did not show. Nor do JPGs show. I'llhave to attache files. - You have the EAX80 hardwired into the BGW?
Yes, it is hard wired. - If so, the eax80 should be in access point mode.
It is in AP mode. - If thats the case, you shouldn't have them on the same channel.
My understanding is that you must have them on the same channel to work as a mesh system.
