RAX40s lose WAN internet when switched to AP mode
I am trying to connect multiple RAX40s as APs for a R8000P base router with a switch in between. However, it seems I can only get one of them switched to AP mode and working. The rest work just fine ...

ISP -> R8000P -> Switch -> Multiple RAX40s
ISP plugged into WAN port of R8000P
LAN port from R8000P to Switch
Switch to WAN port on the RAX40s

Nothing odd there, but you said "multiple RAX40s".
Thought of using one of them as the router?

Yeah I did try making one of the RAX40s the base router but I got the same results.

What's the modem, if there is one, in front of this network?

Hitron E31N2V1 which feeds an ethernet cable into the R8000P WAN port
