I was looking at your network configuration a bit.
Is your EAX20 hardwired in and running in access point mode?
Also, if you hardwire the eax20 into the arris (maybe you've got a long cable or can just temporarily move it closer) does it work?

- PylesTheBeaverAug 24, 2022GuideYes, it's hardwired in and configured in access point mode. This makes no diffrence though. I've had it in extender mode connected wirelessly and it does the same thing. I can't plug it in directly to the Arris, and even if I could and it worked it wouldn't solve anything as I need it where it is located.
