Can’t setup M9 to existing router

2020-11-14 09:23:15

Model: Deco M9 Plus

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi all. I have just purchased M9 2 pack to replace an ASUS RT-AC68U. To connect to the internet I have configured my ASUS as an access point and turned off both wifi radios connecting internet to the WAN. I have the M9 attached to the LAN in router mode and set up and working just fine, 3 wifi bars everywhere inside and out.

My issue is I wanted to set the ASUS as the router (no wifi) and connect the M9 in either router or AP mode but I cannot get M9 to connect to the internet. What am I doing wrong? I thought I could set it up this way. I wanted this way so I could utilise the VPN on ASUS. At the time of trying to set it all up VPN was not turned on.

Any advice appreciated.

@PeterW59

Hi, sorry for the delay.

In case that I made any mistake, could you please me check the following information:

The following network map: ISP—(wan port)ASUS RT-AC68U(AP mode with Wi-Fi off) (lan)—Deco M9+, internet works;
ISP--—(wan port)ASUS RT-AC68U(router mode) (lan)---M9(no matter router or AP mode), there is no internet on the M9+?

Can you still get internet from ASUS RT-AC68U router on the second connection method?

And on the 2^nd connection, what is the color of the LED light, red or green?

Have you tried to reboot the ASUS RT-AC68U router to have a look?

Thank you very much.
