Model: RE215  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

So I had 1 that worked well and wanted another for a seperate spot of my house.

But now after configuring them only 1 will work at a time.

My connection is modem to switch to extenders. In tether mode.

they are not daisy chained but each direct to the switch.

Can I not have them both working at the same time in tether mode?

Hi, welcome to the community.

Here"My connection is modem to switch to extenders. In tether mode", do you mean the 2*RE215s are wired to the network switch via Ethernet cables?

May I know the model number of your ISP modem router?

When they are both powered on, Will you be able to see both 2.4ghz/5ghz lit up on both RE215s?

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Thanks for the welcome. Love the product.

Not sure of model. It is a Arris gateway in bridge mode from Comcast. has my internet/phone on it. Weird little tower thing.

No label other than "Property of Xfinity"

When I had them powered on I was able ot see the lights and in the app I could see them.

But only worked for about 15 min. then my internet started going wonky.

I found that for some reason only 1 would stay in tether mode at a time.

And it would flip back and forth as I tried to put them both in tether mode.

I double checked and the line is running from Switch to tplink. and a 2nd line from switch to tplink.

 

The only light that wasn't on all the time or was orange was the wifi light.
