Hi there. I've upgraded my Synology RT2600ac router to the RT6600ax and am wanting to use the RT2600ac as a wifi point, but I can't get it to work. The SRMs on both are up to date but when I try to add the 2600ac (through the 6600ax SRM > Wi-Fi Connect > Wi-Fi Point > Add Wi-Fi Point) it says 'Found no Wi-Fi points'. I've tried connecting wirelessly and wired but both have the same outcome.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers

 

Ryan

Have you done a full factory reset of the RT2600ac before trying to add it? If the firmware is up to date that's the only thing that comes to mind.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

As above, perform a full factory reset. The best way to add it is over Ethernet.

 

You can have them both side-by-side, plug the RT2600ac WAN port to any LAN port on the RT6600ax, and then from the RT6600ax configure the link. It will guide you through the options to configure a Wi-Fi link if wanted.
