Ethernet connected devices on EX6200

Router: R8000

Extender: EX6200

Extender is configured in Fastlane, router --> extender on 2.4G, devices on 5G.

With my computer hard-connected to the EX6200 on port 5, I can reach all devices on my internal network, but cannot reach out to the public internet. When I connect my phone to the _5GEXT network via the EX6200 I can reach the public internet just fine.

 

When I look at the connected devices on the R8000 the computer shows up in the 2.4G connected devices, as it should according to the documentation, but it does not have the transformed MAC address.

 

Both R8000 and EX6200 are running the latest firmware versions.

 

Any ideas?

Hello NightStalkerTX, 

 

Thanks for your post. A couple things we could try here: 

 

1. This may sound silly, but have you tried connecting your computer to a different port on the extender? 

2. You can swap the Fastlane mode to use 5GHz to connect to the router

3. Set the Fastlane mode into Basic mode

 

Looking forward to your response!
