Nighthawk X6 R8000 wifi 5g second not working
Hi all today i found my second 5g wifi radio not working , i can't found my second 5g wifi, 2.4g / 5g first is working.. but 5g second not working. please help
Kronvrak, you have a HOT FIX, https://kb.netgear.com/000061046/R8000-Firmware-Version-1-0-4-40-Hot-Fix. At one point it was put up suggesting one update to it. That has since been removed.
Go back to V1.0.4.278, might solve the problem for you.
rick0518, Dpw___, if you are on firmware 1.0.4.40, I suggest you go back as well.
Dpw___, I recall seeing this before, "There is a message about radar conflicts and no DFS channels availale", suspect the actual message was 'This DFS channel is not allowed, the Radar was detected before'.
Some attributed it to an old F/W before V1.0.4.28, others say just change the 5-2's channel will fix it?
You can Google the message I guess? This also could be a function of where you live, for instance the 5-2 Ghz SSID will not show up in Japan. The do not allow it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels. R8000 should be showing channels 141-161 which is legal. What channel are you on?
I'm seeingthe same thing - using smart connect yesterday and the entire wifi wasn;t working. switched to individual channels and the 2nd 5g channel is not working. There is a message about radar conflicts and no DFS channels availale
yes, after i using smart connect then second 5g is missing.
i reset my wifi then everything is fine
NOTE: my firmware now is : V1.0.4.46_10.1.63 also fix IPV6 problem
