Unfortunately for the CAX80, you can't even use it in faux AP mode, and by design, the CAX80 auto reboots if signal is lost on the RG6 coax connector or if the coax is disconnected from the CAX80. No idea why NG did this. :smileyembarrassed:

That might explain why I did have internet connection at various points with the CAX80 plugged into the ONT, but kept dropping very frequently.
