Hi,

I have a RE200 connected to my Netgear Nighthawk R7000.

The main use for my RE200 is to connect a Synology NAS to it using a cable. I have no need for extending my wifi range but I use it as a sort of dongle since the Synology doesn't support usb wifi properly.

This has worked in the past! However, I was gone on a trip and left the power off for a long time. Now it doesn't work anymore.

I ended up resetting the RE200 and tried setting it up again.

I keep getting two different networks. So if I connect to the RE200 access point I can reach the NAS, but if I connect to the Netgear I can't.

The RE200 also isn't visible in my connected clients/attached devices view on the Netgear.

I tried everything.

Connecting with WPS

Connecting without WPS

Static IP

DHCP auto/on/off

Using different subnets on the router vs re200 (192.168.0.* and 192.168.1.* and reversed)

Setting it to extender mode or standalone

Setting it up with the iOS app or the web interface

Same name networks vs different

And probaby more stuff I don't remember.

Please help!
