Linking mismatch with two EX80 nighthawks
I have 2 nighthawks, one is Ethernet connected to the router and the other is linked to the connected AX6000 nighthawk via an Ethernet cable. Essentially they are daisy chained to each other.

EAX80 only has AP or Extender mode. There is no router mode.
Press the reset button on the other EAX80 for 15 seconds then release. Give about 2 minutes then look for the wifi signal or set it up using a wired PC.
Hey! I reset the extender a million times with the instructions about, unfortunately though it goes to 'NETGEAR' and wont let me connect through wired or wireless. Im not sure too much about the wired connection step though. Mainly because when I put the ethernet cable into the extender it refuses connection unless it is tethered to the main router.
