AX3200 (dual band access port) WAX206 Connected without internet

The router will power on but the 5ghz light will constantly blink blue. I am able to connect to the wifi that has been set up but it doesn't have internet ( To clarify I'm in a dorm room in a college so I don't have access to any other wifi source ).

a couple tings. 

1. the WAX has a router mode and an extender mode. both are going to function a bit differently. What mode are you trying to set it up in?

2. Many dorms supply their own internet connection for you. But its for connecting a pc/laptop to and not another routing device. If you're wanting to attach your own router, you might have to talk to the IT department there for them to allow the WAX to be connected to their network
