Extender and router all one name
I have attached an RE505X extender to my AX6000 router. At first it didn't create a mesh. I had to change routers when I changed rooms. I restored factory settings on both and now I THINK it's working, but I have questions: (My network is called ECCO)
1. Before I set this network up the second time I used to see ECCO and ECCO_Ext. Now I only see ECCO. There is no ECCO_Ext when I search for available networks if I'm either close to the extender or close to the router. Is this because they have meshed?
2. I don't see ECCO_5G as I did before when I search for wi fi networks, however I do see both 5G and 2.5G on the Tether app.
3. The extender does not appear in the Tether app.
Finally, one more bit of information: as I have 75/75 mbps service and my apartment has fiber optic plugs throughout, after connecting my extender to my router I plug it directly into the fiber optic plug.
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
