Do you have two of these RS routers? Was mentioned the RS was possibly going to be MESH with another RS700.

I have 3, was hoping to mesh them. Returning them ASAP. Doesn't work as going into the Nighthawk mesh on the app asks me to scan the barcode on setup but says invalid barcode when scanned. Trying it manually doesn't find the satellite even if I hardwire it. Not supported yet or will never be supported I guess.

I think the MESH support is still in development.

How do you set the second router to AP mode when it's not online/available out of the box. Do you need to go through a setup for it and then set it to AP mode. In other words, setup each router as if it's the main and then when setup is done configure it to AP mode? Anyways, seems to risky to keep 3 units I bought with no mesh and no guarantee that a mesh will ever work with this router. AP mode doesn't cut it as it's a weak method of running mesh.
