compatibilità tra R8000P e extender

Ciao a tutti,

possiedo un router R8000P e ho bisogno di affiancargli un extender. Vorrei un aiuto per capire quale, per caratteristiche, è il più adatto tra EX8000, EAX20 e EAX80 per l'R8000P. Premetto che ho il modello EX7500 ed è un disastro, cade in continuazione il collegamento.

Grazie!

  • If you're near an area with radar, whenever it picks up radar, it has to switch of dfs channels. It can cause drops/irregularity in service if your in one of those areas .

     

    Another thing you can try is the R8000P is the backbone of the system. Maybe its having issues on that firmware. the firmware I'd recommend is 1.4.1.42 for that router. Install it over a hardwired connection. then do a factory reset and clean install (not using a backup). disable auto-updates and try it for a period.

    You already have the EX7500? Its fairly solid with a decent firmware. 

    which version are you on of the firmware? 

    What 5ghz band are you using for the backhaul? The higher bands or the lower bands?

        the channels youre on are dfs channels.

        Have you tried using different channels on the  for both the backhaul and the fronthaul? 

        what firmware is on the R8000P?
