Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.10 Build 20240130 Rel. 77367(5553)

New  AX1500.  Put it in access Mode, and it does a great job spreading wi-fi around the house.

I was rather disappointed to find that this mode makes the LAN ports inoperative.

 

Previous  Asus routers placed in AP mode, allowed the LAN ports to work, similar to a switch.

 

Is it possible to set the AX1500 up that will allow the Lan ports to operate while in Access Point mode?

Actually when configured in AP mode AX1500 LAN ports work as a network switch - here's how (Case 1) to configure AX1500 in AP mode.

Thank you for the reply. 

 

I have it set up as per "Case 1", However the LAN ports are not working.

 

Cheers, Max

[Update]

The LAN ports are now working fine in Access Point mode.

The issue was caused by myself using a defective Cat 6 patch cable.

Once it was replaced with a new one, everything is operating correctly.

Sorry to have wasted your time, and thanks again for your guidance.

Cheers,

Max
