Hi,
I have an ISP provided router/modem, which I've let the ISP set in bridge mode, with behind my R7000 running is my main router, responsible for everything including DCHP.. The R7000 is running on firmware version V1.0.9.88_10.2.88.
The EX7000 is running on firware version V1.0.1.94_1.0.172.
Just disconnected from WiFi on my laptop and connected it with a cable to the extender, and I got an IP address and an internet connection. Pulled out the cable and connected again to the WiFi network, got an IP address but not internet connection.
