WAX204 LAN ports not working
Hi community,
I use a WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual band wireless access point WAX 204 (I'll refer to it as WAX 204 from now one) for my small business wifi. The wifi itselfs works like a charm. No issues there. But the LAN ports on the WAX 204 don't seem to work. When I connect my laptop with a cable to the WAX 204 it says "unknown network".
For your information:
- The WAX 204 is connected to a FRITZ!BOX 7590. On that device high speed optical fiber internet is coming in;
- The FRITZbox is the main internet connection point in a building with a number of small business like mine. We share this internetpoint. For that reason I bought the WAX 204 to create my own "privat" WiFi network;
- The WAX 204 is connected to the FRITZ!BOX with an ethernet cable;
- The WAX 204 operates in ROUTER modus;
- All lights (incl LAN) on the front of the WAX 204 are green;
- Firmware is the latest: V1.0.2.0.
- I tried disconnecting the power and restarted the device;
- I've even reset to factory settings;
As said before, WiFi is working as it should. We have hight speed internet connection and no issues there. It's just when I connect a small server (or my laptop) to one of the four LAN ports of the WAX 204 it doesn't receive any signal.
I've been struggling now for a couple of hours, but with no success.
Hopefully somebody can point me into the right direction.
Thanks for your help and thoughts in advance!
Kind regards,
Roderick

Re: WAX204 LAN ports not working
If you're running the WAX and the fritzbox in router mode, it causes a double nat. some devices play nicely with double nat's but not all.
Try going into your fritzbox and putting the WAX's IP address into the fritzbox's DMZ.
