Hi Team.

 

I hope you are well.

 

Quick question: Is it normal that the TP-Link RE705X extender sets up an additional connection to my Asus RT-AX86U Pro router? On the router device list, I see the RE705X with a dynamic address over Wi-Fi 5 at 80 Hz with the MAC address found in the TP-Link mobile app. Then I see another Wi-Fi connection at 160 Hz with a static IP address and a MAC address I don't recognize and cannot find in the extender app.

 

I confirmed this is the extender as I disconnected other devices, and the only two entries are from the extender.

 

Does the extender set this up for the 160 Hz band?

 

Thank you.
