R6700AX stopped connecting to bridges
I have a pretty weird problem. In order to provide internet to a couple of remote devices, I have been using a couple of different solutions for different locations: Case 1 - downstream wi-fi ro...
What modem/gateway is the primary router connected to?
Did you try resetting the downstream devices?
Hi Plemans,
It's an Arris TM3402A that's provided by our cable co, Cox. So, TM3402A > R6700AX > Linksys EA7500 or
TM3402A > R6700AX > Netgear Powerline AC1000 Wi-Fi Access Point
FWIW, the R6700AX doesn't have any problem with other wired Lan devices, like A pc or TV, just the bridges
Is you linksys in access point mode?
the cascaded routers shouldn't be in router mode or it causes a double nat.
so make sure the downstream routers are in some type of access point mode (or whatever that specific manufacturer calls it)
Yes, they are either in "Bridge Mode" for the Linksys (just hand signals back and forth between device and router, don't hand out IPs, etc.) or their native mode for the Powerlines (since they can only act as APs).
Remember, this setup had been working flawlessly for quite a while before it decided to go all weird on me.
You could always try downgrading the firmware a version if you think its something with the primary router causing it.
