MK80 series: MR80 / MS80 - terrible performance every 12 hours

Distance between MR and MS is 22 FT, no concrete walls. <Distance is too close between the MR and MS. 30 feet or more is needed in between the MR and MS. I would turn OFF 1 MS and see how the system works for you.
I would try with just 2 MS deployed as well. not two.

This was tested -
--using 2 MS performance issue occurs
--using 1 MS 40+ feet distance performance issue occurs
--using NO MS and just MR80 performance issue has not occurred by coverage does not reach entire house
The issue has not reoccurred with both MS80 power unplugged.
How do I check to rule out interference for the WI-FI6 mesh connection?
Not much else to check.
If you have a wifi scanner on a pad you could see if there was maybe some extra neighboring signals on 5Ghz
Was this happening before you updated FW?
- Yes the issue was occurring before the firmware upgrade.
Why are only 4 channel’s available for 5 GHz wireless - 36, 40, 44, 48. Is this a bug or by design
None of the channels are available above 48? 5 GHz standard channels should goto 36 to 165
The nighthawk platform is horrible to troubleshoot, there are no diagnostics and support is non-existent The wireless backhaul uses the channels above 48 and are not user configurable.
If this has been happening before the FW update and prior you may have a faulty system. I recommend opening up a support ticket and contact NG support. Let them know this has been happening before the FW update.
