Cannot view AX1800 clients when connected as AP
2021-06-01 02:17:31
Model: Archer AX1800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0

DHCP is managed by server in my LAN router. DHCP servers are set to 'off' in the AX1800's that are configured as access points. The AX1800 software shows zero clients. I can view all connected devices on the LAN router GUI but I cannot tell which device is connected to each of the two AX1800's. Any ideas?

What if you change the DHCP server on the AP from "off" to "Auto", will the devices show up after rebooting?

@Kevin_Z  I have two AX1800s in AP mode connected to a LINKSYS router that handles the DHCP.   If I put both AX1800's in Auto mode, they both go offline.

Does the offline mean the AP disconnect from the LINKSYS router? Where did it display the offline?

@Kevin_Z When I change one router to Auto and Save, that router shows connected clients. All lights go out on both routers at the point I save Auto on the second AX1800 and all WiFi is shut off. I have to set DHCP to Off and restart both routers to recover. The desired situation is to be able to see connected clients when DHCP is set to Off. BTW This was the case when I used a tp-link extender AC2600 in AP mode before I bought the two AX1800's.
