RAX35, user manual page 90:

I connected the main XR300 router from local ethernet port #1 to the RAX35 router (in AP mode) to the yellow port (WAN). Still do not get a connection. the XR300 lights that show which LAN ports are active is still blinking amber every 5 seconds.
Not sure is helpful but the other thing I noticed last night is when I am in the device manager on the XR300 it shows a network diagram of what is connected. I see a symbol that says "Offline". I assume it is my RAX35 because it shows that my garage cameras and other things are connected to it. When I select my camera it gives me the MAC address however it does not have an IP address. I assume the "offline device" showing in the diagram is my RAX35 in AP mode. If I disconnect the data cable from the XR300 that goes to the RAX35 the "offline device" still shows up in the network diagram with all of my wireless equipment connected to it.
Thanks for helping with this issue.
