WAX206 fails in AP mode
I returned the first WAX206 thinking it was faulty, but the replacement has the same issue. When I configure it in 'router' mode, it works fine. However, when I change the mode to 'access point', it ...
Just to clarify, when I say "modem" in my posts, I mean modem-only. I do not mean modem / router.
Technically my setup is the same... modem (Fibre to ETH NTU) => router (IPFire appliance) => AP (WAX206).
With the setup using pfSense as the router.... I still had the WAX206 hang issue - needing a reboot to reset the connection.
Changing the router to IPFire now seems to have resolved the WAX206 hang issue.
Anyway.... the WAX206 is a great Wireless AP - and we both have working solutions.
Okay, but your set-up isn't the same as the one I was attempting. Mine was Modem (CM1200) => Router (WAX206) in AP mode. I'm not being argumentative here, just making sure other readers see why my set-up wasn't working. I needed another router in between if I wanted to run the WAX206 in AP mode.
Fair enough.... all good.
