EX7700 Fastlane option not available?
I just purchased the EX7700 and when setting it up I noticed that in the menu I don't have the option to use FastLane connect. Is there something I am missing here?

Re: EX7700 Fastlane option not available?
How did you setup it up?
wps/installation wizard?
Something to keep in mind is that the EX7700 is a tri-band. If you're setting it up in extender mode, it reserves one of the 5ghz bands just for router---extender communication. its called fastlane 3 and works to reduce the throughput loss from using extenders.
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80

I used the installation wizard as the WPS didn't seem to work.
I was referring to the below links that indicates under the 'Do more' menu option there is a way to select 'Fastlane' option. However this option does not appear on the menu.

If you look at the fastlane article, thats for fastlane 2 devices. The article doesn't have the fastlane 3 devices (tri-bands) listed as applicable because they fastlane 3 devices function slightly differently.

Re: EX7700 Fastlane option not available?
I am experiencing the same thing as everyone else. This was not a problem a month ago, but it is no longer available. Has Netgear advised?
