CAX80 can't upload 5GHZ
Im having serious issues trying to get this figured out, ive tried playing with everything for teh last 6 hours to get my uploads to work in 5ghz mode. Im literally 25 feet from the router and any fi...
Firmware version 5.1.1.2 is what everyone needs to push for to be released.
I can confirm that this new V2.1.5.2 did not fix the 5GHz uploading issues with the CAX80 on Xfinity. I can't even send emails at certain times. Also, if I try to upload and files to my server that is over 50MB it drops the connection. Pushing git commits that are larger don't work either. Is there ever going to be a fix for this or do we all just need to buy a new none Netgear router? I did noticed that I had more luck uploading larger files until I downgraded my xfinity plan from the Gig to the 800Mbps. It all works every time on 2.4GHz.
What is the brand and model# of the 5Ghz wifi adapter your using with the CAX80?
How are you uploading files? Web browser or other app?
Are the uploads stopping or stalling or just going really slow?
What channels are you using?
Smart connect enabled or disabled?
Is Armor, SPC or Traffic Meter enabled?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

I'm using a Mac Book Pro 2019.
I"m uploading files with FileZilla or to bitbucket through my terminal.
The uploads are stopping and erroring out.
2.4GHz is set to auto channel currently using 7. 5GHz is set to 36.
Smart Connect is disabled.
I don't know what Armor or SPC is but Traffic Meter is disabled.
I did a factory reset after I did the FW update.
I don't know where to set the DHCP IP settings.
This seems to only happen still on 5GHz with anything over 50MB.
Does it still happen if you change channels to 1 on 2.4Ghz and 48 or 149 on 5Ghz and Smart Connect enabled?

I don't have Smart Connect enabled cause I don't have the same SSID name for both 2.4 and 5. I have them as Name and Name Juiced.
I did set the 2.4 to channel 1 and the 5 to channel 48.
No change. I still can't upload more then like 20MB.
