Ah that's interesting, thank you for letting us know. I've added it to our roadmap under usability fixes. I can't promise when we would do this, but it's on the list!
@Netduma-Fraser That's correct. Even if I connect to the SSID of the XR500 by being closest to it and connecting with a full strength signal vs the EX8000/7800 I am unable to access google play services. With the XR500 as a stand alone it works. Mesh, it doesn't work. Also as a test I've tried using the EX8000/7800 as an Access Point with a wired connection to the XR500, it breaks google play services again. This happens if I connect to the SSID of the XR500 or the EX8000/7800 running in AP mode. There is something the XR500 does not like about having those extenders connected to it in any mode.
@Netduma-Fraser Funny you ask that. I was using OpenDNS and thought it was the problem and I may have had things too restrictive so I swapped over to my ISPs DNS servers and that didn't work either. I believe I've even used Googles DNS servers as well with the same result. But if you put those two devices in a mesh and use any android device, you will not be able to even access the play store. I've seen at least one other person in the forums with this issue so I know it's not just a one off.
