RAX120v2 Newly Disconnecting in Bridge Mode
I picked up a Nighthawk AX12 RAX120v2 to use for a Bridge. I have a few computers in the living room on LAN and I need them to be on Wifi with the main modem/router my ISP provided in another room fo...
Are devices connecting to the RAX120v2 over WiFi? (in addition to the devices that are on LAN?)
Nope, no device via wifi to the RAX120v2 in bridge mode.
The apartment setup is approximately:
Wired devices connected to the RAX120v2 in bridge mode
* 1 Linux desktop
* 4 Windows mini-pcs (1 is the TV PC, the other 3 are a mini-lab project)
* 1 NAS (Linux)
Wifi devices connecting to the ISP router/modem combo
* the RAX120v2 in bridge mode
* 1 Chromebook
* 2 Macbooks
* 1 Windows Laptop
* 2 Android phones
We've got one Software Engineer and one Graphic Designer who work-from-home so its a bunch of stuff for personal and professional needs.
Whenever the issue happens, all the wired devices lose internet and none of the other wifi devices lose internet. Rebooting the bridge-router typically resolves it, but sometimes is takes a second reboot cycle for it to come back.

When the problem happens, can you access the RAX120v2 admin interface from one of the wireless devices?

* 1 NAS (Linux)Are you using all 6 ethernet ports on the RAX120v2? (including the WAN port)?
Or is there also a switch connected to one of the ports?
So far I haven't been able to check the access to the dashboard. Most of the time, I'm late to an online call etc. where I need to just reboot it and get myself going. I'll be trying this next time it happens.
In terms of the ports (good question)
* Nothing in the WAN port
* The NAS is in the one higher speed port
* The Linux desktop is in a LAN port
* The TV PC is in a LAN port
* A switch is plugged into a LAN port, which has the 3 mini PCs in the lab rack plugged into it.
* There is 1 empty LAN port.Just had it happen, and no I cannot access the Admin Panel while its occurring.
