I got an RT-AC86U to replace a RT-N66W, so the AC86 is now the main router and I wanted to use the N66 just to plug an IP phone (Yealink SIP-T425) in so I could move it and the desk to a different spot. Nothing else would be connected to the N66.
I logged into the N66 and changed it's mode to repeater, and it connected to the AC86, but the IP phone doesn't work when plugged into the N66, nor then does it work after plugged back into the AC86 until I turned the N66's power off. The phone says no service. Probably irrelevant but the phone did previously work with the N66 when it was the main router.
Also, now, even when I'm connected the N66, when I try to login to router.asus.com, it says "AC86" on the login screen. If I can get the above problem fixed, I want to be able to change some of the settings on the N66 (like lower Tx power and turn off 5G), but can't figure out how to now. I can get to it through the app but the app barely has any settings in it for some reason. Even before this problem, I've never been able to find many settings in the app.
BTW, for some reason, when I set the N66 to repeater, it prompted me to change the SSID's and PW's. Why? I'm not sure why it couldn't keep the same SSID it already had.
