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.
It may have taken so many years, but I think I finally figured out.
Check to make sure that any devices that are having this upload issue, don't have their network settings set to use MAC Randomization.
If you turn that off on any of your devices having the problem, does that make it work properly again?
That could be one possible cause.
However, others have seen usses with PC wifi adapters, items that don't use any MAC ADDRESS randomization.
Update::
I've been working very closely with the team at Netgear to get this issue resolved. I can't say too much as I had to sign an NDA but keep an eye out for a software update coming in the near future. I'm no longer experiencing issues on 5G.- yatman60 I'm all in to try any beta software, that fixes it. It's strange to need an NDA, as this is not new software or hardware, but merely a bug fix, that's plaguing everyone apparently. But what do i know. Eagerly waiting and fingers crossed. Thanks for the update.
- Turning off Mac randomization didn't solve the upload issue. I've tried switching to static IP as well, to no avail. Please let us know if any workaround actually fixes this issue. I'm having to use 2.5 GHz to get around this, which is much slower.
