xr500 x2

I have two xr500 and the network looks like this:

 

 

                                mesh extender (in garage)

                                          /

INTERNET---(cable)->--xr500mid---(cable)-->--xr500front (in AP mode)

 

 

 

The problem I am having here is my computers are all on the xr500front which is in AP mode. Whenever i go to login to manage my router or network, it only lets me see the one thats in AP mode and I cant really manage any settings.

 

Would maybe running it like this work:

                                                  mesh extender (in garage)

                                                      /

INTERNET---(cable)--     (IN AP MODE)xr500mid--<--(cable)--<--xr500front

                                   \---------->--------------->----------------->-------/

 

I hope that makes sense, ideally I dont want to change it as ill loose one of my cable sockets in the room

  • I assume you're using routerlogin.net to do this, if you access via the LAN IP then you should be able to access the interface of the one in router mode.
