Hi,

 

So, when you attempt to add the RE700X to the AX72 via WPS as described, the RE700X will end up being being connected as a conventional Wi-Fi range extender, but not as an EasyMesh satellite? Or does it not connect at all?

 

By the way, I have an Archer AX53 V1 that also has this little bug that it tells you to "make sure security is set to WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES],..." when in fact it is set to WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES], but despite the router displaying this erroneous note, adding my RE as EasyMesh satellite works flawlessly.

Can't even set up the EasyMesh to start with because of that error.

Pardon me, if I don't understand correctly. But the "EasyMesh" feature of your AX72 must certainly have been activated successfully, as otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the notes about the WPS and wireless security you mentioned. And I assume you have also verified that "WPS" is enabled on the AX72.

 

Now all there would remain to do is to follow the instructions under "Follow the steps below:", that is, press the "WPS" button on the rear side of the AX72 (an LED on the AX72 should start blinking) and a couple of seconds later press the "WPS" button on the RE700X (also an LED should start blinking). A short while later both LEDs should turn solid. After that has happened you can then check whether an EasyMesh connection has been established between the two.
 

  @woozle It's fine.

With Amazon's Same Day delivery, I bought hardware from another brand and it just worked as expected and no ambiguous instructions.

 

Easier than this back-and-forth.
