The R series routers don't support actual MESH. I presume you set up the other system as a router and extender or repeater kind of configuration with two R8000Ps.
Ya, sent this unit back.
What WiFi devices are you connecting?
Any of these apple devices? if so, disable WiFI Private Address feature on these devices and see if they will connect with using WP2 and AES ONLY on the router. Beamforming and MIMO should be enabled along with WMM.
Cellphones, laptops. No apple devices.
They all work well with the AC1900 with wpa-aes. I am trying to upgrade my network but this router just isn't working right.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
If you've tried other versions of FW, even 1st version, factory set and no Armor or access controls configured and wifi devices are not getting connected with WPA2 and AES to the internet, maybe time for a new router.
Internet provider is CenturyLink through a Actiontec C3000A Modem. Wifi is disabled on the ActionTec. R8000P is the only thing plugged into the C3000A.
I plugged Engenius Access Port into the R8000P and that is how my wireless devices are connecting. I had hoped to move the access port and use two R8000P in a mesh configuration, but now I am wondering if I should do that.
Very disappointed I cannot connect securely. Is there an encryption board that may have gone out?{Internet} -- C3000A --- R8000P -- Engenius Access point.
Router is issuing IP addresses as it should.

I wanted to establish a mesh network. Maybe not, now.
Router is refurbished and purchased through Amazon. I guess I will have to send it back.
