    Repeater can't see device connected to main router

    Here's a basic question. I have two ASUS routers: my main router is an RT-AX86U and my remote router is an RT-AC66U running in repeater mode.

    ASUS DDNS hostname... already Registered

    That's what I did when the power switch old RT-AC66U died, but ASUS wants to charge me a service fee to release the old DDNS name because it's tied to my old (>5 years) router, which is out of warranty. What a ripoff!

Thinking I might have been hacked, I used the default admin/admin, which was successful, flashed 378.56 and reset to factory default. I now...
