WiFi 5G dropping on RAX80
I got a new AX8 router, updated FW to the latest, rest to factory status, QOS disabled, AX enabled, set 5G channel to 161 and also tried 36, noticed two issues: 1. Fan is noisy 2. 5G radio drops aft...
I have had this issue too. Will return this weekend as still within return period from store. This is my second one. Its better than the first but 5ghz drops on this one as well. Support is no help. Ran ping test to router and its obviously having issues as some pings are coming back in the 100s. Had one today that was 491ms. Will go back to older style r8000 router.
- Just sucks. The canned responses are insulting. Most of us posting here know a little something about networking. I did a third factory reset on my RAX40 and it is working ok. No noticeable drops in 4 days, but I am still skeptical. I am mad that There are not more options for AX on the market. What can you do? Also, I turn of port scan and dos protection. It is overly sensitive. It though Facebook and a Smart TV were attacking. Give me a freaking break.
