RAX-70 second 5 Ghz band drops randomly
Hi, I hope all is well! I bought the RAX-70 router 11 months ago, mainly to have a router robust enough to handle my eleven HomePod minis and stream 4K movies on my Apple TV. I use the second...
Try setting the 5ghz-2 down to "up to 2400mbps". Reason I say this is the RAX70's 2nd band (I think as I don't have one) is a 4800mbps band. to do that, its channels are 160hz wide and that overlaps into dfs channels. When the router senses a dfs channel broadcasting, it has to stop using them for a period of time and switch to non-dfs. maybe something in your area is using dfs and causing that. If you set it to 2400mbps, its only 80hz wide and there's a section of 5ghz that is non-dfs that is 80hz wide it can use.

Worth a shot.
Thank you plemans, I appreciate!
The 5 Ghz is already set to "up to 2401 Mbps". The channel 153 is a non DFS channel. Most of my neighbours are using the using the channel 157, so I chose to avoid it.
When I scan the surrounded Wifi networks with my MacBook Pro I can see that my router is using the 80 hz as you mentioned below.
Thank you very much!
