RAX70 and IP cameras
Hey all,,, I just got a Nighthawk AX8 AX6600, (RAX70) and I'm having an issue with my IP cameras disconnecting. They usually connect again after a few minutes but then will disconnect again. These a...
I actually have changed channels for other reasons but issue is on cams that are both wifi and ethernet so it won't be an RF interference issue
Try setting the band used for long distance Preamble-modus from Auto to Long preamble.
It made mine stable
It made mine stable
I'll give that a try,,, thanks
what camera's are you using?
Do they have a hub?
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
How do you have everything wired if even the wired camera's are dropping?
(everything back to the nvr hub? through a switch? through the router?)
what camera's are you using? Various REOLINK cams
Do they have a hub? No,, no hub. IP cams
What modem/gateway is the router connected to? The RAX 70 router is connected to a Netgear DNGD4000 modem/router, (my old router)
How do you have everything wired if even the wired camera's are dropping? Not sure what you mean? Some of the cams are POE so obviously connected to a POE switch,, the others are IP WIFI cams
(everything back to the nvr hub? through a switch? through the router?) No NVR hub. The NVR connects directly to a switch wich connects to the router
Maybe you mean the DGND4000?

Its a modem/router combo device. Is its routers features disabled? or the RAX in access point mode?
otherwise you're in a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the RAX's IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the RAX. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the RAX into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
