EAX20 wired and in router mode

I was running my EAX20 in router mode and needed more signal in one area of our house. I wired it with Ethernet and moved it. It is still in router mode, not AP mode. Is the wired connection helping?...

Like schumaku says, there is ZERO router mode on the EAX20. 

It either has extender mode or access point mode. 

If you have it in extender mode but hardwired to the router, it won't function properly. 

So if you're planning on using it hardwired, you need to reinstall it in access point mode.
