Problems w/ New WiFi 6 Nighthawk 8AX - EAX80 Range Extender w/ New WiFi 6 Nighthawk AX12 - RAX200
Please help. I am a long time Netgear customer, and have been buying Netgear products since the early 2000s. Upon receiving my Nighthawk AX8 (EAX80) and configuring it I found myself fairly disapp...
Thanks very much for this. Both eax80s are wired directly to the rax120 through a very good central Netgear switch and both are set to ap mode. I have noticed from time to time that these get a bit confused and loop, usually during initial setup but this usually sorts itself out and all the ap get their own discrete IP addresses just fine. I also have two older ex8000 setup in the network. One as above and another as a wireless extender to the rax120. So 4 total units (we have an old house with multiple thick solid brick walls.
Now that I moved everything back to wap2 authentication with identical wireless net names I think I have a smoother setup but will keep testing. Thanks for the link. I will investigate that
If it helps, I have also run my AP/Extenders off of one switch with no issues and used smart connect. The most I have run was 3 AP/Extenders. The router feed the switch and the 3 extenders we connected in AP mode. The house I set up was around 4800 sqft 2 level new build. They wanted coverage inside and outside the home. Well they we covered!! lol
I too live in an older house. I know the pain over coverage. I hope you are able to stay up and running on a stable network.
