EX8000 ARP / connectivity issue

Hi marks7389,
I would like to know if you experience this issue on both wired and wireless devices. Also, i would like to confirm if you extended both 2.4 and 5GHz network as one of your statment sounds like you are extending 5GHz band only.
The issue was affecting connectivity to the repeater itself, but only from router and anything connected via the router.
So if I had a wireless device connected to the repeater I could access the repeater's web interface. If I then moved it so it connected to the my router instead it could longer do so.
I'm only using the 5GHz bank to link the repeater to the router, although both devices also broadcast a 2.4GHz network. The reason for doing so being that I wanted the two devices to use different channels and since the repeater only has a single 2.4GHz radio that isn't possible if you use both bands to link them.
I have managed to resolve the issue by factory resetting the repeater and setting it up again. Same configuration as before but the problem has gone away, for now at least.
Hi marks7389,
Good to know that resetting the device resolved the issue.
