What is the brand and model# of the host router the RAXE is connected too? 

 

What version of NH app are you using? 

What mobile device are you using? 

Be sure any MAC address randomizers are disabled while at home:

How is the AP mode configured on the RAXE? Dynamic or Static configuration? I recommend static so you know where the IP address is and doesn't change. I use .50 on mine while in Bridge mode. Should be able to do same thing in AP mode. 

 

I presume RAXE web UI is accessible? 

 

Maybe submit a bug report?

FYI:  admin page is served up by a web server.  You can put all the html you want on a computer, it is just a file sitting there….  Needs a program to serve it up!
