Looses connection
Hi, I have the EX6200 working in FastLane mode where it connects via 5Ghz to my router (AirPort Extreme last generation) and then using wires I connect some other stuff to it. Well, all this works...

For reference, here are my details:
1. 1.0.0.52
2. Fastlane
3. I use the 5Ghz as backhaul to the router, 2.4Ghz to the wireless clients
4. 2.4Ghz radio bandwidth is set to 300M, 5Ghz to 600M
Cheers

I have actually made only minor changes since the whole reflash/reset/reboot process, so my current config is very close to a factory default. I have been tempted to go and and tweak things but to be honest I'm just happy the thing is finally working and didn't want to tempt fate!
For the record:
1. 1.0.0.52
2. No fastlane
3. 5GHz disabled. I want to give it a try but I'm too chicken = see above!
4. 2.4GHz bandwidth as per default - what ever that is.
Only real changes I've made post factory reset:
- password
- setup for static IP & DNS
- DNS set for ISP & Google (due to separate Netgear DNS issue)
I'd also note that both Android devices I use are set with static IP.
Maybe it's an Android thing but I've had much more consistent & faster connects that way. All other devices, including the "i" ones, use dynamic IP without a problem.
