I'm trying to setup my network but It doesn't work.
I have a Edge Router X and had a AirCube ISP before but it was only 2.4Ghz, because I bought a Steam Deck Oled (Handheld Gaming Console) I bough a Netgear WAX202 (Business Router) and it supports dual band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I got it for -50% so it was a great value.
Now I unplugged my AirCube ISP, disabled the PoE (Power over Ethernet) on port 4 and plugged in my WAX202.
I logged into the WAX202, done the wizard then went to the Operation Modes and set it to Access Point.
The issue now is that I can connect my devices to it, but the Netgear WAX202 UI doesn't show any connected devices. "Number of devices: 0" and my devices are connected 100% to the WAX202 wifi router. I have internet, I can game, watch movies etc, I have no idea why it says no connected devices on the Wifi.
The Attatched Devices (I assume LAN) shows 4 connected devices, all those devices are connected to the Edge Router X not the Access Point, no Lan port is used (except WAN) on the WAX202. The 4 devices are: 1.1 Edge Router X 1.39 Home Assistant (Raspberry Pi) 1.38 3D Printer 1.228 My Computer
On the Edge Router X, when typing into console `show dhcp leases` it shows following devices: 1.39 Home Assistant (Raspberry Pi) 1.38 3D Printer 1.228 My Computer 1.65 WAX202 Router 1.66 My Phone 1.67 My Tablet 1.68 <device with no name> could be a Tasmota SmartPlug Device I tried to connect.
Re: WAX202 in AP mode doesn't show connected devices
No practical experience with these Essential WAX202 - so ordered a (very similar) WAX206, unused, from a personal overstock sales, should arrive l8ter during this week.
As your WAX202 is new, don't hesitate to open a ticket via https://my.netgear.com/ - NETGEAR provides complimentary technical support for NETGEAR products for 90 days from the original date of purchase.
