5Ghz-2 RAX 200
I’ve configured the router in advanced mode, web based because I’m used to it. 2.4 and 5Ghz-1 works flawlessly. The 5Ghz-2 works approximately 3 day and drops to (mode up to 600) I have tested every channel, config, and parameters available without any results. It always defaults and roles back to (600.Mbps). I know the inference with radar, military etc.. It’s just enological.
It drives me Maaaad!! All inputs are appreciated.
Many thanks…

What part of the world are you trying to set this device to operate? The reason I ask is different regions/countries have different rules for 5 GHz channel numbers and channel widths.
Specifically what channel numbers are you trying to use and are you trying to use 80 or 160 GHz widths?
- Greetings! Thanks for the fast replay.
Europe/Sweden. I have used 80 and 160 Ch 100-128. I Know 118-128 are problematic. Also there isn’t any option regarding 80-160 MHz. It chooses automatically depending on the choice of modes and channels.
The mystery is why function perfectly in 3 days and fall back to lower mode, (Experiments has been done in month) which results in 80% speed reduction.
Strange!?Try setting your speed at the "up to 2400mbps" and then select channel 155. (if 5g-2 is the upper 5ghz band).
Otherwise try channel 42 if its the lower channel. Again, with the "up to 2400mbps". all the other 80hz or higher bands are dfs channels. Those 2 zones aren't but they're only 80hz wide.
What firmware is on the router?
