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 ...
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.

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?
I’ve already test these configurations. Unfortunately when choosing mode “up to 2400” I only see channels —>100 to 128<—
In the meantime I’m able to change regions though. I have several countries to choose from “ Vietnam, Emirates, Australia, India, Korea, Singapore, HongKong.
Perhaps we creatively able to sort out the proper “legal” frequencies. 😉
The current firmware version is V1.0.10.140_1.0.79. I’ll never downgrade, rather wait for update.Any suggestions?
Kitsap Your showing it on a r9000 running voxel. Its now how its displayed on the RAX200. I have one and it sets it width by the "up to ****mbps" speed.
Julian_Jay Your region might be half your reason. If you're limited in what channels you have available and those are dfs channels, it could be creating a lot of the issues. Did you have issues before? Has this been going on since you purchased it? Or is it new since a firmware change?
- This has been happening from date one. Works perfectly in three days then suddenly roles back to “Up to 600”. ( Value reduces from 4800Mbs to 600)
- Would you please type all of the non DFS channels in Europe.(Or existing)
Please explain the differences between UNII-1, UNII-2, UNII-2 extended, UNII-3, and ISM.
Which are non DFS channels in these patterns? How to implement them relatively to my lovely Night Hawk RAX200.
Many thanks for your support.
PS. I live in a 2 floor house and have only one neighbour near me.Not trying to be an a-hole but there's google to go over all that. Its a bit pointless for me to retype whats already been explained by others with much better clarity.
Same with the channels.
you can start here though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
It has channels by region and what their broadcast info is.
- I’ve searched and studied over several weeks. Every country and router has it’s own setup and frequencies. I’m new to Netgear, and the lame and unstable High frequency DFS, ax protocol bull**bleep**. So it seems the 168MHz doesn’t work with any of my 100-128 Chanel’s.
Conclusion : I need to downgrade to good old 600 or 1200 Mbit/s to enable the lower band stone age channels.
This is totally unacceptable. Keep in mind that RAX200 is a three band router.
I need one channel on 168MHz non DFS in high band 5Ghz ax protocol. To be precise, frequencies 5300-5800. How in earth am I going to mange that?
Any ideas? Dear community.
PS. Are all High bands channels DFS?
