Hi,
I appreciate the reply. I am losing you where you say the EX is connected to the XR500 via ethernet. I have the EX setup to extend the 5ghz WIFI band from the XR500 and then from there it sends the 2.4ghz to the devices around the house. There is no hardwire connections involved. The only device hardwired to the XR500 is a desktop computer.

Understood, the same theory applies though, the XR can't tell how devices are connected to another device, in this case the EX so it defaults to showing a LAN connection.
