AX1800 wifi mesh extender ethernet ports
Just purchased the AX1800 (EA20) which I have setup and appears to be working fine! My issue is the ethernet ports don't appear to be working, is there a setting I need to check? I have set up this ...
Have you tried setting it up using the installation assistant and not the app or wps?
Here's a video of how to use the assistant.

I finally figured it out, turned off “smart connect”. Went through setup again and they were working!
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
I'm glad it works but you shouldn't need to turn off smart connect for it to work. It should work with it enabled.
If you're still within your 90 days of free support window, you could contact netgear. Maybe theres a different firmware for it.
What actual version are you on?
I agree, I'm just happy they work.
