WLAN config changes not possible
Hi Guys, I got a problem with my R8000. At the moment its broadcasting the default configured SSID, but for security purpose I want to configure my own SSID / PSK. But this doesn't seems to be po...
Hi,
sorry, I forgot to write an answer in this topic since James forwarded the Support Contact informations to me in private.
The problem has been solved by installing the firmware "V1.0.2.44_1.0.96" on my R8000.
I'm not sure about the latest version for your EX6150, but for my R8000 the (in my opinion) stable version was listed under the previous versions section.
In your case I would suggest to install several of the older versions, and try to change the configuration to see, if the error appears again.
kind regards,
Andreas
Hi James,
the error message "This DFS channel is not allowed to use because the Radar was detected before. You can change another channel or wait" appears after I did any configuration changes on the following menu:
In Advanced -> Setup -> Wireless Setup
But as I already reported, the second 5G-Radio isn't even active (has been deactivated under: Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> Wireless Settings) and on the first 5G-Radio there isn't a dfs-channel choosen. It's running on channel 44
kind regards
Hi Ikarus92,
Did you configure the smart connect of the router?

Hi James,
no, it isn't configured.

Hi Ikarus92,
I think the R8000 is set to AP mode since most of the features are disabled. Do you have another router that is working as the DHCP of your network? .

Hi James,
yes, the providers router is acting as dhcp and default gw in my network, the R8000 should just be the wireless lan ap.
I've deactiveted the "ap mode" now it's running as router (deactivated dhcp) but the error still keeps the same.
I'm wondering if nobody else suspected this error, since it seems to be a major bug on the system if you try to "customize" the ssid and psk settings.
kind regards
