EAX20 - AX1800 configured as access point only allows single wifi user
I have setup a EAX20 - AX1800 extender as an access point in my garden cabin with an ethernet connection back to the AC3200 router. Connected via ethernet to the access point are two sky stream puc...
A couple things.
1. Screensnips are easier to read 🙂
2. Virgin hubs aren't known for their "modem only mode". They tend to suck at that regard. Try putting it in router mode and connecting the eax directly to it and see if it works fine.
You could also try the vigin hub in router mode and the R8000 in access point mode with the EAX then connected to the R8000
Thanks for the suggestions, ironically the reason for using the virgin hub as a cablemodem and the r8000 as the router was because I thought the hub wifi was also astonishing bad.
I will give the hub in router mode a try (although first I have to find something with an ethernet port and browser to do so, all computers I have are wireless only, but I do have a raspberry pi)
I didn't think that daisy chaining extenders was supported but I can try configuring both the r8000 and eax20 as access points connected directly to the virgin hub via ethernet.
Noted on the screenshots suggestion going forwards 🙂
I probably won't get around to testing this until the weekend, but thanks for your replies.
