Model: Archer VX1800v  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

When configuring Vx1800v with re700x extender

One band appears 2.4GHz or 5Ghz

Every reboot shows a band???
The problem is that I have some devices in the house that do not support the 5Ghz band
Is there a solution?

If you want to separate VX1800v 2.4Ghz and 5GHz channels you have to disable Smart Connect (Band steering) feature - refer to this post.

I disabled Smart Connect

But it didn't work
It seems there is a manufacturing problem

According to the thread there's a limitation in Easymesh implementation for VX1800v.

You can try to connect the  re700x as a regular RE (i.e. not in Easymesh) to utilize both wireless bands.

Today I tried the old wifi extender re650..(AC)
and the 5 and 2.4 bulbs lit up normally
in Easymesh mode


as for the extenders re700x and re505x..(AX)
only one band

Hi, I don't think RE650 supports EasyMesh. So I think when it connects to Archer VX1800v, it can only work as a standard non-mesh extender.

Did you see somewhere on the web UI of RE650 or VX1800V said RE650 is connected via EasyMesh?

By the way, even though there is one band/LED displayed on the RE700x/505x, the extenders should still broadcast both 2.4+5 GHz networks.

 

Thank you very much and best regards.
