XR500 & EX8000
So.. I got totally cheesed off trying to get a reliable ethernet backhaul working with my Orbi system and returned it.
I purchased an XR500 and a EX8000 which I use as an AP. All working great ...
Ah that's interesting, thank you for letting us know. I've added it to our roadmap under usability fixes. I can't promise when we would do this, but it's on the list!
Netduma_Jack Can you add fixing google play services not being accessible when the XR500 and nighthawk extenders EX8000/EX7800 are in mesh mode?
- Its only not accessible when in that state? What about when connecting direct to the XR500, does it work properly then?
Netduma-Fraser That's correct. Even if I connect to the SSID of the XR500 by being closest to it and connecting with a full strength signal vs the EX8000/7800 I am unable to access google play services. With the XR500 as a stand alone it works. Mesh, it doesn't work. Also as a test I've tried using the EX8000/7800 as an Access Point with a wired connection to the XR500, it breaks google play services again. This happens if I connect to the SSID of the XR500 or the EX8000/7800 running in AP mode. There is something the XR500 does not like about having those extenders connected to it in any mode.
- Interesting thanks we'll look into it. If you change DNS on the XR500 does it work then?
