Huawei Router WS5200 ( using it as Wifi extender )

I was advised by Huawei that maybe there is issue where its conflicting with the IP address on the 5G Cpe pro I will have to turn off DHCP Server on Ws5200 by doing to the web version of the settings but I shouldn't have to do this it should merge into one router (ip address).

If this step does not work then I will know the device is faulty just in case i have ordered ax3000 like I said

One improvement I would suggest adding the same settings as the web version which has more on the al life app I understand why they didnt add them on the app cause the device should work simple just plug & play. It will just confuse people having all this settings on the app or just add advance settings tab on the al life app separate section if they dont want to confuse people.
Wrong info been given from Huawei there is no settings for DHCP if I set it as a wifi extender the device is faulty.

Does anyone know if it works on a locked cpe pro which three network have locked it.

It should work as I have tried the V2 of the router connecting it.

Its defo a faulty device I got oh well im not moaning about it these things happen im that person who got a faulty one.
 
One last thought, using the router's webpage -192.168.3.1 you can turn wifi repeater mode on, under the more settings tab and then wifi settings. The app is very cut down on functions and mainly focussed on setting up a mesh (as are the manuals).

If you want to change SSID of your ws5200, you need to change it while configuring it.
