No Nighthawk Mesh on RS700
What's up with this device - doesn't work with Nighthawk mesh. My internet router is at the latest firmware but not the other one which I'm trying to setup with Nighthawk mesh but scanning the barco...
I think the MESH support is still in development.
Got it working through the Nighthawk app. Didn't want to go through it again but there's no way. I set it up as a router, let it do it's firmware update and then changed it to AP mode. Plugged it into my other RS700 running the show and it came up as an AP point. In the app, I can switch between the routers by choosing the Main or AP point(s). Just not sure if I'm going to keep it though as this is a very expensive solution without any mesh support currently. I know it's really a mesh minus the smarts that run a mesh but just easier to mesh and I'm not certain that moving around is ideally placing my WiFi devices at the strongest point. I suspect the 3rd RS700 will be no issue to set up as a second AP.
