Hi,

 

I have one root AP (EAP660 HD), and I bought an EAP620 V2 to run as a wireless mesh AP to extend my WiFi coverage.

 

The EP620 shows "CONNECTED" as mesh when I use am Ethermet cable running from it to the switch. But, as soon as I remove the Ethernet cable, it shows as "DISCONNECTED" after some minutes.

 

I've never setup a mesh network before, but I read that after disconnecting the Ethernet cable, it should show as "ISOLATED," and then I'd add it to the network.

 

What should I try? Are they mesh compatible?

 

My configuration:

 

Controller:

 


Thanks

  @RicardoATB I'm using the 2020 firmware. I hope the new one (from 2021) will fix the issue as it has ADDED MESH functionality smiley:

 

 

 

 

Release note for the 2021 firmware:
