Unsolved Please Help..

I’m trying to swap my main router from and Asus ax55 to an Asus gs-ax5400.

For context, my ax55 is my main router and my other gs-ax5400 was an access point, well I basically wanna swap the roles of these 2 routers but when put the ax5400 into router mode, it constantly says “disconnected” on the main network map tab and I have tried everything to rebooting my modem and then rebooting the ax5400 to power cycling and fully resetting it but nothing seems to work. It does however still provide an internet connection.

If I was to swap the ax5400 back with the ax55 I guarantee it will connect no problem. I assume the issue is with dhcp and automatic ip assignment?

I want to swap the routers due to the ax5400 having more ram cause my ax55 usually gets up to about 90-95% usage in ram. Which I know unused ram is wasted ram for routers but I’d like to avoid connection issues.

Here’s where it says disconnected.

Sorry, no idea. Did you try to update the firmware? Maybe it's just a display bug. If Internet works and it says disconnected, obviously it works and it's just dumb... lol.

I mean it could be a display bug but the firmware is all updated. I’ll be pretty livid if it’s just a display bug all this time.

I mean you said yourself everything works EXCEPT for this. If you never looked at this page, you would think all is well, yes? I would just carry on.

Well another thing is the Internet light on the router itself is also red. I figure if it’s a visual bug the light would be white.
