RAX120 with 3 x EAX80 mesh extenders - HELP
To give a bit of context: Previous Setup = RAX 120 router (no smart connect, AX disabled) + EAX 80 mesh extender (Fast Laneway: 2.4ghz in and 5ghz out) Current Setup = RAX 120 router + three EAX 8...
Did you ever get this figured out? I too am trying to run multiple EAX80s and am having issues.
Fastlane configuration can prevent the extenders connecting to themselves issue. If you configure all extenders to only connect to 2.4GHz and output in 5GHz for example, then boom - problem solved. They cannot connect to themselves, just the central router.
However, despite doing this, one of my extenders refuses to get a connection with my router. All *seems* to go well in setup, but then it complains no connection to router is established on the status page of the EAX80 extender settings. And yes, it is well within range of the router (and out of range of the other extender, as I have three floors, with the router on the first floor and the extenders on the top and bottom floors).
Ah, at least now when I run through setup with the extender again, I get the attached error. But no, I do not use Access Control Lists (ACLs) in my router settings. And yes, it is well within range of my router (60% signal strength).
