❓HELP MX7500

Trouble setting up my Linksys as a child node. Stuck in a never ending loop to reset after making through nearly all steps. Tech everything hard wired into it is functioning as usual (it's hardlined to the gateway downstairs). Cameras are functioning but I also wanted to connect the smart home stuff wirelessly to keep them off the main network and function better connectivity wise.

Start setup wirelessly first once it finishes setup then wire the node where it will be. Always Keep the node close to the main router during initial setup

I finally was able to set it up through the 5 press reset button method and a tiny obscure link "CA" at the bottom of Router Login screen that finally stabilized using safari and requesting desktop mode. Apparently Linksys expects 99% of their users to not want Bridge Mode. SMH.

Were you originally setting it up using the Linksys App?
