I upgraded to firmware 8.3 and seems there is an issue with WiFi as WAN when a weak signal (1-2 bars). I have the Max BR1 Pro 5G in my RV outside my house and am connecting to the 2.4Ghz WiFi from the house. While I only get 1-2 bars, I have zero issues while using firmware 8.2.1… but 8.3 seems to not allow the Pepwave LAN traffic to cross to the WiFi as WAN when a low signal. I’ve been able to get out briefly a few times on the WiFi as Wan, but generally it won’t pass the Max BRI Pro 5G’s LAN traffic (LAN traffic is all wireless - same results whether connected to 2.4/5Ghz AP). Also no issues if I fire up the Verizon card for the WAN connection - can get right out. I’ve noticed that the WiFi does seem to continually disconnect, search and reconnect with 8.3 and the Max BR1 Pro 5G won’t connect at all to the house 5Ghz signal using 8.3 (it will with 8.2.1). For now, I’ve downgraded back to 8.2.1 and am having zero issues. Is there something I am missing or should try/change with 8.3, or is it just finicky with WiFi as WAN when a weak signal?
