Hey,

 

I already disabled all the settings and the NAT is off on the modem as indicated. The system has been run fine for about 6 months before I decided to create a customize network.  Everything else is running great. I can't use the customize 2.4 network.

 

Regards,

Uno

What happens if you remove the MS from the wired back haul and try setting up the MS wirelessly then try the customize the 2.4Ghz wifi?

      What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
      What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?

        hey,

        not sure how far apart, house is around 3500. they don’t see that far apart, not sure it matter because they are Ethernet backhaul .

        Thanks,
