CAX80 wifi occasionally hangs
I have had a CAX80 for several years, generally very good. Perhaps once a month the wifi stops working. The RJ45 connections still work fine. I power cycle the CAX80 and all works again for ...
thanks to all who replied.
I had a hang again today. I logged in and clicked "attached devices" and saw many 2.4Ghz devices still attached, but none at 5.0Ghz. I turned 5.0Ghz off and on and all was well without a power cycle.
hardware version is 1.01. firmware 5.1.1.8, cable firmware 1.02.08. I click on "router update" from time to time, but it seems like many months (>6) since there was any new version.
i see the menu to schedule a restart, but the minimum off time is 30 minutes, which is not ideal.
5.0GHz was set to channel 36. I just changed it to 48. Will see if that makes any diff.
attached devices shows 4 wired, 9 @ 2.4ghz, and 9 @ 5.0GHz.
I will look at the cited article about address randomizers
