AX1500 not connecting to AXE5400

Yesterday

Model: Archer AX1500 Archer AXE5400

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.3.12

AXE5400 V1.0 firmware 1.5.2

Both routers at current firmware release.

Set the AX1500 in AP mode and tried to connect with EasyMesh. Used all three variants of WPS connection. Tplink lists the AX1500 as easy mesh compatible and has the EasyMesh menu on the left. I've factory reset both routers and have gone through setup several times with no luck. Just times out with WPS_ERROR in system log. Have no problem connecting to either router with WiFi.

If your AXE5400is in router mode, you don't have to switch AX1500 in AP mode to connect to it.

Just reset the AX1500 to its factory settings and use the WPS method to build the Easymesh between them.

Connecting the AX1500 as a satellite devices would be as if its working in AP mode plus mesh.

Here's more on Easymesh when the main device is in AP mode rather than a router mode.
