Nighthawk AC1900 Router (C7000v2) no internet with PtP wireless bridge
Hi everyone,
I am hoping to see if anyone knows what is going wrong with my router.
I am using 2 ubiquiti Nanobeam 5AC Gen 2 units to form a wireless bridge to get internet at a second location while using this Nighthawk AC1900 Router (C7000v2) router.
The problem is that whenever I connect them it causes the internet to drop. I have the access point mode and station mode units connecting via dhcp forming the bridge and the access point is plugged directly into ethernet port 1 on the router. They get assigned IP addresses of 192,168.0.13 and 192.168.0.14 and the router is 192.168.0.1.
For a little bit everything works well but after about maybe a half hour no devices have internet, just drops out of nowhere. The nanobeams, other wifi devices connected directly to the router and even other devices plugged into the ethernet ports on the router, none have internet.
The only thing that fixes it is when I unplug the nanobeam from the router and then power cycle the router. I have used these devices with other routers with no issues, so I'm thinking it has to be something with this particular router.
Has anyone experienced something like this?

- I've never used them but have you checked with Ubiquiti to see if there's a setting that needs to be changed to get them working with a netgear router?
I have checked, but no one seems to know. It does appear that the Nighthawk router is the issue to me because I tested it with a different router and everything worked perfectly. Simply plugging in one of those nanobeams takes down the internet, not even forming the link yet or having anything else plugged into the router.
The thing is that via DHCP or static IP address the results are the same. These nanobeams should work with the settings I put in them, they're on the same network as the router and they have the router as the default gateway.
Is there a way to assign a different subnet or guest network to the lan port that I can plug that ubiquiti nanobeam into? Maybe that would would work.
any chance its the POE?
have you tried it with just the poe injector connected but not hooked to the ubiquiti
