I have a problem with a WAX630 AP running a low 5Ghz broadcast:
No matter what channel (36-64)I select, no matter what wireless mode (a to ax) I select or even channel width (20/40/80 Mhz) it is stuck in 20Mhz running wireless mode "a".
Even when I turn the radio (5Ghz) completely off, it keeps broadcasting on 20Mhz on mode "a".
Pls. see screenshot showing the network broadcast captured with Wifi-Explorer.
Any strange config in place from whatever experimenting?
Same following a factory reset?
@RaghuHR either we face some oddity or the AP does conserve some power - according to another post he is powering the WAX630 from a GC510P. This won't explain why the Low 5 GHz is still on air with thw Low 5 GHz radio disabled.
Thanks for your replyes. It is a fresh setup of both APs after a factory reset this morning. So far it worked well. I managed to set up the two APs I've got thanks to your help, Kurt.
According to the APs dashboard firmware V9.5.3.4 is installed. I've just checked, there is no later firmware available.
I was trying to set up Vlans this morning but failed to connect them to the internet, so I reset everything to the beginning. The only thing I did not reverted to the initial state was the set up of 3 different SSIDs for different types of devices.
Other than that I connected the two APs via WDS, and thats it. Other than that there is nothing special set up yet. I wanted to have a solid running network before starting to "experiment" and customize it further to my needs.
Would you suggest to factory reset the AP again? I got quiet good at that over the past couple of days 🙂 Or do you have any other idea what I could do?

This is beyond of what the WAX630 or the GC510P can do - each VLAN does make up a dedicated, isolated network - and some router must exist for the routing and the Internet connection.

WDS - what for please? Aren't both APs on the same wired network, powered from that very same GC510P?
I've put up some pointers to Tw and California Netgear reps to this thread already.

PS. Afraid, I have no WAX630 at hand for testing here.

Just one AP is wired to the GC510P (which is connedted to a BR200 router, which is connedted to the internet) the other AP should extend the WiFI and bridge the network with a dedicated backhaul and be also connected to a switch (GC110p) to hardwire more devices.

You are the best. Many thanks!!!
