New Around Here
Just bought a 2 pack of XD5s to add to my current mesh which is made of RT-AX86U as the main router and a RT-AX68U as a node running via ethernet backhaul.

Both of the XD5s connected via the app when I hit add node and setup confirms all is a success/do the power cycle.

I did the setup within touching distance of the main RT-AX86U

However after a power cycle I get a red light on the XD5. Have removed both new nodes from the system, reset and re added. Same issue.

Bizarrely they do connect via backhaul if I plug in direct to the RT-AX86U router.

All of them have their respective latest firmware. I updated the xD5s when connected via the back haul.

I hoped this was going to be a 5 min job....Any advice greatly received.
