I've configured a dual Router setup on the same subnet etc in the past. I tried the same simple setup with the GT router and the XT8 mesh, but I can't get it to work on the same IP range.
Working configuration:
GT-AC5300 connected to Router - 192.168.0.1 IP, 255 mask
XT8 mesh connected to GT-AC5300 by cable - 192.168.1.1 IP, 255 mask (WAN IP 192.168.0.108, unsure how this works). DHCP enabled etc.
Above works great, I have 2 separate networks in my house, both running fine.
What I would like, is to have a single network with, preferably, a single IP range. To do this I simply attempted to configure the XT8. I turned off DCHP and set the static IP to 192.168.0.2 with a 255 mask. Upon hitting apply I got a conflict error. I switched off the WAN so that I would be allowed to set the IP etc then switched it back on. Again I got a conflict.
In the past this has worked for me without any issue. Have I missed something obvious? I also attempted 192.168.1.1 with a 254 mask to cover both ranges but this gave a conflict error also.
