CAX80 can't upload 5GHZ
Im having serious issues trying to get this figured out, ive tried playing with everything for teh last 6 hours to get my uploads to work in 5ghz mode. Im literally 25 feet from the router and any fi...
Firmware version 5.1.1.2 is what everyone needs to push for to be released.
Adding my 2 cents to this thread.
I've been with the same internet provider for over a year (Comcast/Xfinity). Just upgraded my modem/router combo from Netgear R6700 to CAX80, nothing else changed.
On the R6700 connected to the 5Ghz wifi I never had a problem at all.
With the CAX80 my iCloud drive files will not upload on my MacBook when on the 5ghz network, but everything is fine when connected directly via Ethernet.
The only solution I've found while on wifi is to turn on my VPN client. Then everything works, albeit much slower.
Not sure how this relates.
Hi ernestgann,
Are you able to capture debug logs form CAX80 routerlogin.net/debug.htm page also can you run the Wireless Diagnostics on your mac and provide those logs so we can see whats happening form both CAX80 and MAC OS Wireless sides. I am wondering is this is a country code issues on 5GHz that is causing some of these problems. You can find this out by running Wireless Diagnostics.
To Run Wireless Diagnostics on Mac:
-
On your Mac, quit all open apps.
-
Try to join the Wi-Fi network you’re having problems with (if you’re not already connected).
-
Press and hold the Option key, click the Wi-Fi status icon
in the menu bar, then choose Open Wireless Diagnostics.
-
Follow the onscreen instructions to analyze your network connection.
Let me know if any other questions.
