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'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?

Sadly this is an ongoing issue with the CAX80. I wish I could take mine back but it's too old now. I wish Netgear would just fix the issue already.
Long thread of this issue:
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.
What model did you buy? I might be doing the same.
Also, I can't set my 5GHz to channel 149 as it only goes up to 128.
Can you try with Smart Connect enabled.
I tested mine out last year and was able to upload several gigs of data to a cloud site for testing thru the CAX80 with it's wifi enabled. Saw no issues other than seeing performance is slower on current FW which may have been put there by NG to help with debugging this issue.
Also, to help avoid having to get a entire different unit, one could set the CAX80 to modem only mode and install a external wifi router in mean time.
I have passed this on to NG for review.
