RAXE300 will not save short preamble for 5/6ghz

Question

I am unable to set and save the short preamble preamble mode for 5GHz or 6GHz.

This issue has been raised in other posts for other routers. I can't find any resolution.

Router: RAXE300
Firmware: V1.0.8.64_3

Maybe due to that 5 and 6Ghz may not support that feature...

Are you saying that the option to select the preamble mode is not a supported feature? All three WiFi bands have their own drop down menu for this mode.

And when short preamble is selected and you select apply, what is happening?

Blachowiak · Answer

The router resets as if it is applying the preamble mode setting selection. When I navigate back to the "advanced setup" -&gt; "wireless settings" page the preamble mode is "long preamble".

I'd try a factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser:

Try MS Edge or Firefox browsers.&nbsp;
Then check the short preamble setting to see if it persists or not.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Is the router working otherwise?&nbsp;There a reason why you want to change to short vs long?
