RT-AX68U_3004_388.10_0 has put router repeater mode.

[ali.]

Hello, as the title says after upgrading my router to RT-AX68U_3004_388.10_0 it appears as a repeater. The router was part of an Ai Mesh and the other two routers in that setup are working correctly. Resetting AX68U and trying to readd to Ai Mesh has not worked.

Any help is much appreciated.

Odd. Keeping things simple for now, as you did not mention it, how exactly did you reset it? Hard reset (highly recommended), not just depress the (often recessed) reset button.

Hard reset: with the power off, hold WPS button, Power on, wait for power LED to come on (might initially be dim, then brighter), wait some more until power LED goes off, then release the WPS button, power off, power on. Then re-add the node. I’ve had embarrassing moments in the past when I held the wrong button (not the WPS button).

If this is all known to you and you’ve done that, and deleted the old one from you primary router, I’m not sure what to suggest. In that case hopefully someone else has had a similar experience.
