Hi  plemans,

I loged in the Admin page and set it as AP yesterday. But the problem still exists.

Have you tried a simple factory reset and reinstall of the RAX?

    I reset it in early January since I got some problems. And then found this connecting issue.

     

    Should I do it again?

      Never hurts to start fresh.

      If its not to much of a pain, you could even try using a different ssid/password in case its an issue with the macbook not forgetting the network properly.
