Wired connections to AX1800 not working...
I've got an AX1800 connected to my Nighthawk mesh network & cannot get anything to connect via the LAN ports on it. WHY?!?!? Before I 'upgraded' to this mesh system, I had a WN2000RPT that was conn...
Sorry about all the missing info, but I have a Nighthawk Advanced Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System (MK72)– AX3000 Router with 1 Satellite Extender & an EAX20 range extender.
The Nighthawk system, IIRC, I set up using the phone app.
I bought the EAX20 to set up on my workbench in the garage for when I have to set up Point of Sale computers & I set that up my logging into it via the IP address, which brings another question, how can I give that a static address?
I'm way beyond the 90 day support window, so I find myself here.
Everything has the latest firmware, too.
One other thing, the phone app seems to keep every single computer or device that has ever connected to it in the device manager, while it only shows 8 devices connected, there are 70 other devices listed in there that show as being offline. I have deleted the app, along with the data & reinstalled, but all that stuff remains.
How do I get rid of it & keep it from coming back?
Thanks!

I bought the EAX20 to set up on my workbench in the garage for when I have to set up Point of Sale computers & I set that up my logging into it via the IP address,---> is it hardwired in? If so, did you set it up in access point mode? Or is it in extender mode with it separated by some distance? what does its status page show? which brings another question, how can I give that a static address?--->You'd do that in the MK73's setup page. I'd probably just use a reserved IP address. Easier to setup
Everything has the latest firmware, too.---Does it? Tough to know 100% as the auto-updates don't always have the latest. Without numbers and looking it up, I'm never confident of that.

Thanks!
EAX20 is not hard wired in - if I had a cable drop out there, I would have just plugged everything into a switch & been done with it. Access point would have required a cable to it, right?
Status page shows Your WiFi extender connection is up and running.
Firmware version on router & satellite is V1.0.3.34, extender is V1.0.1.64_1.0.104
The house is about 2000 sq ft & everything is less than 50 ft apart, separated by sheetrock walls,and your MK system is able to see it connected?
You're able to access it using its IP address?
Are you able to log into the device and see if anythings been disabled. I don't have my EAX80 running right now but I thought there was a means of disabling the ethernet ports. It also has an access control. Maybe somethings been changed there
Just to test it, I connected my EAX80 to my RBE973S to see if it had any issues with ethernet. None at all. Once setup (using the assistant) ethernet worked fine and I could max out its gigabit connections.
So a few more questions.
1. What modem/gateway is the MK system connected to?
2. Got a screensnip of your extenders status page?
3. The wireless connections work fine on the extender?
4. Did you check the access control, scheduling, etc within the extender?
