Can’t reach, unable to get AiMesh functional

[Buk]

This is my setup,

All AX86U Pro (primary) connected with  cat6 to the modem going to WAN of 86

From a LAN port of the primary 86 to the WAN port of another AX86U Pro (secondary)

All the white LEDs are on (power, 5, 2.4, and WAN) of both 86’s.

A thirds router a AX58U V2 is sitting a short distance away connected only wirelessly with only these three, white LED’s on power, 5, and 2.4. The WAN LED is not lit. 

Checking all three routers, all indicate a status of “Unable to reach” and they all show the Network Name of the proper networks of 2.4 and a 5. I. I have limited, mostly zero, luck getting connected to the GUI.

Can you connect a computer via Ethernet to the primary AX86U Pro LAN port and open web browser to 192.168.50.1 (or whatever IP you may have changed it to)?

Three routers (2 of AX86U Pros, 1 of AX58U ) AX58U WAN to Primary AX86U Pro LAN. Secondary AX86U Pro WAN to Primary AX86U Pro LAN. All lights lit on all three routers (power, 5, 2.4, and WAN).

All three routers indicate can not reach. All three were set to default mode using proper ASUS__XX. All three programmed with same network and password, admin and password.

Unable to connect to “GUI”

The primary router (connected to modem) should be set up first.  Hard/Factory reset the remaining (nodes as ASUS calls them).  Log into the primary router Web interface and add the others as nodes:
