Model: EAP211-Bridge KIT  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.0 Build 20240723 Rel. 38150

I just bought an EAP211 bridge kit and discovered, after installing one way up high, that they have stickers that say SUB and MAIN. I had unwittingly installed the sub where the main should be. No where online did I see that they are designed that way. I couldn't even adopt the sub eap211 without swapping them and adopting the main first. I was not pleased.

 

If I buy more, can I turn a MAIN into a SUB? I want more subs. I want to have one main and 3-4 subs, but they're only available as main-sub pairs. I don't see any settings to suggest this is a possibility.

 

If the above is true, can I buy an eap215 kit and make them as sub of a eap211?
