WAX206 issues with Android 13 incompatibility?
I bought a WAX206 to upgrade my wireless network from an old EX8000 Extender that keeps shutting down randomly. My network is basically, Surfboard modem -> Firewalla Purple -> Netgear GS308E swi...
Ended up returning the WAX206 and bought a Ubiquiti U6 AP, set up in about 10 minutes and zero issues. Would not recommend the WAX206 as an AP for anyone unless whatever issues it has get worked out. This device has problems.
another update to add.
I factory reset the AP again. Plugged it in and ran it in Router mode for a little while. I wouldn't normally do this as I currently have the firewalla set up as the router and dhcp/dns server. I connected to the out of the box SSID from the WAX206 and suprisingly everything worked.
I let it go for about an hour with no issue and switched over to AP mode. Then the problems started again. I think at this point I'm just going to return this device as there is something wrong at the core of its AP functions.
