Using 3500 in addition to 2500 not working - should it?

i'm trying to add a 3500rp to my existing network for use in bedroom for satellite receiver.

i currently have an r7000 as AP, and a 2500 as a primary extender for all AV gear in family room. i have static IP's for r7000 (.3) and 2500 (.4) set, but when add the 3500 into my network i lose the 2500 altogether.

should this setup work, and if so are there an special considerations / config rules i need to follow?

ideally i will need to add two addition 3500's in the near future, so i really hope this works.

    Are you connecting all extender to R7000 or extender to extender?


    no i saw you other post that ext to ext is not supported.

    current
    single 2500 -> 7000

    desired
    single 2500 -> 7000
    +
