Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 (RAX75) - Wireless Bridge
Hey all! Hoping someone can assist me here. I have a Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 (RAX75) that I use as my primary router in my home. The issue I've run into as a renter - I have multiple devices in my gar...
You'd be contacting Linksys to get help on putting there product into wireless bridge mode, not the RAX router.
Make sure the Linksys router supports or can connect to a WPA2 signal with mixed WPA3 mode enabled. I know that if mixed mode is enabled, some older model wifi router that support wireless bridge mode, won't connect at all if mixed mode is enabled. They will if you set WPA2 only. I know my R7000 and R7800 and R9000 won't connect when WPA3 is present on the signal.
- I was worried about the WPA-3 part, I haven't gotten that far yet.
The main issue is I can't even find where to connect it via the Nighthawk menu. I tried WPS with no luck.
Is there another place I should check in the Nighthawk menu?You'll need to set up the Linksys for wireless bridge mode if your wanting to use it's LAN ports for ethernet connections thru it while it's connected to the NG router.
- So I have the linksys setup in bridge mode and ready to go.
What needs to happen on the Nighthawk side?
