Hello Whyzgi

 

To use it in AP mode you would have to connect it via Ethernet and it would take up a port to do so. But if you are having issues with it staying connected via wireless I would suggest trying to adjust the wireless channel on you main router.

    Ok I will try adjusting the channel, but my main question is. If I use it in ap mode will the other 4 act as a switch along with the cord that is pluged in for the ap mode?

        I checked over the channels and those seem to be fine. When I tried to put it into the device into ap more, even though it is directly connected to the router, it says it can't fine a connection. I have the Direct link in the first slot.
