R8000 5G modem drops connection when large files are copied
Hi I have R8000 Triband router that has been working very well for years (except of the DNS issus for which I had to downgrade). I just bought a new Minisform UM560 which has a rz608 wifi 6e card (...
have you tried copying the large files between other devices?
6E is pretty new and maybe there's an issue with that specific card/device.
I should have mentioned it in my original post. I have copied the same set of large files between the same NUC and an older laptop using the exact same 5g Modem and had no issues.
Thanks

If it only happens when connected to the new device, it kind of points at that new device as the issue.
Got a spare usb wifi adapter around you could try it with on that device to see if its related to the card or the windows install?
The issue is that the R8000's 5G radio becomes completely inoperable. i.e. all my other devices connected via 5G lose internet connectivity. Devices connected via 2.4G still works fine. Regardless of any new device, I would expect the Router to protect itself from going down.
Thanks
