RAX42 5GHz constantly cutting out when OFDMA is on
Hello friends, I have an issue that I've put up with for over a year now. My router model is an RAX42 and I'm running firmware version 1.0.12.120_2.0.83 Here is some potentially helpful info... ...
Have you tried firmware version V1.0.15.128?
Update: I installed the 1.0.15.128 hotfix update and it did not fix the issue.
Interestingly, the 2.4 GHz OFDMA option enabled works just fine.
Mind you, I am testing this by connecting at least 2 WiFi 6 capable devices onto either network and then sending and receiving packets. During the 2.4GHz test everything runs smoothly with no issues. During the 5GHz test everything almost instantaneously seizes up and I lose connection on all devices connected to 5GHz band.
It is also important to note that I am using the same two WiFi 6 devices to run both the 2.4 and 5GHz tests.
