RAX50 started dropping connection recently
Hi, Nothing has changed with my Cox modem or set up. But recently my Netgear router has begun losing connection. The 2.4 and 5g lights on the router will go out and devices can't connect to it. I...
I'd put the netgear in AP mode then
Also, make sure to separate out the wireless channels so they aren't interfering with each other. Might fix the spotty connections
Forgive me if I'm being redundant, but AP mode will disable the wifi functionality and the netgear will just be a switch with ethernet ports? Do you think the Cox panoramic gateway modem/router can handle everything? I have gigablast speed. Of course I don't get 1gb download speeds but it's the best service they have. The Cox modem combines 2.4 and 5g bands so it's just one wireless channel. Is setting the netgear to AP mode easy to do. Again, forgive me as I'm not very technical.
Thank you.
AP mode disables some features but not the wireless or the ethernet ports. More features like QoS, traffic monitoring, etc
