IoT devices do not connect to the RBE970 (Satellite) when the RBE971 (Router) is in AP mode
Hello,
Same problem here.
After extensive testing, IoT devices do not connect to the RBE970 (Satellite) when the RBE971 (Router) is in AP mode; instead, all IoT devices connect to the RBE971,...
Thanks, I'll keep an eye on things too—please keep me posted. If it doesn't happen again on your end, I'll run some more tests...
Yes, cables are Cat8 STP.
Every change gets saved :)
I did see the info regarding AP mode configuration, but the host router can't monitor or manage the RBR's Wi-Fi connections—only the outgoing traffic.
Being able to manage Wi-Fi traffic on the RBR (and block certain devices) would have been nice, but it’s not the most important thing.
Will do.
Thank you for confirming.
Most AP mode configurations don't support the control features. Most of those are handled while in router mode. AP mode, isn't used or not needed at all or the code can't do it.
Enjoy for now and keep the wife happy.
