RAX30 wireless bridge mode dropouts
Hello, I bought a RAX30 2 days ago, as a wifi6 router to work in wireless bridge mode. This is to provide a wireless bridged connection to my main wifi6 router (a virgin media hub5), about 30ft away ...
The problem with a wireless bridge is that it relies on the primary router, and any issues with it will percolate to the RAX.
What channel are you using on the 5ghz?
DFS channels can be problematic.
Plus ISP supplied routers aren't always the best.
Not sure waht channel in is - it is Virgin Media Hub 5. It does give out a really good 5 ghz (== reasonable range) signal - better than my previous routers. I can login and try turning band optimization / steering off, and try to fix it to one 5 ghz band (like 36) if that would help?
I'm just recommending avoiding dfs channels. they can create instabilities if there's any radar/weather radar/dfs broadcasts in your area.
