Here's how to configure AX50 in AP mode - Case 1.

Use the AX50 WAN port (not LAN1) to connect to the ISP router.

Set AX50 IP address outside or at the end of ISP router DHCP IP address range.

Other settings are fine, you can experiment with SmartConnect on/off to see if that suit your needs.

Should put AX50 IP out main router range?!

 

As I'm going to disable DHCP server in AX50!

 

please advise, thanks 😊

Connect ISP router LAN port to AX50 WAN(Internet) port.

Change AX50 Operation Mode to Access Point.

If the ISP router DHCP server range is (192.168.100.2-192.168.100.99), set AX50 LAN IP address 192.168.100.100.

If you don't know what the ISP router DHCP server range is, just set AX50 LAN IP address 192.168.100.254.

Turn AX50 DHCP server off.
