I have a Max Transit Duo and I’m using 2 different sims which everything works great. My internal wifi is fine and I don’t have issues with it. I can even use the 5GHz WIFI WAN and all is still good.
However, if I enable the 2.4GHz WIFI WAN, it kills my internal WIFI. It stops broadcasting the SSID and my devices lose connection until I disable the 2.4GHz WIFI WAN then the SSID pops back up and everything is fine again.
I am on the latest 8.1.1 but I have had this problem for probably the last 3 or so versions that I was aware of. I have reset my transit and stared from scratch. I don’t have anything unusual for my AP config.
You are saying make my Wifi WAN channel and AP 2.4GHZ channel the same on the transit? I set both to 6 and 11. Still does the same thing. Thank you for replying
I’m having the same issue on a Surf Soho MK3. Also running 8.1.1, but had the issue on prior versions. Seems multiple rebooting of the router and/or the Wifi Wan source solves it temporarily. Is there any additional insight or resolution ideas available?
Same here. I just installed 8.1.2 5114 and when I enabled the 2.4Ghz my other devices actually stayed connected for a little while but then after about a day one device was disconnected again so I rebooted the transit and now it’s connected so I will see how long it stays connected.
I do have an active ticket open. They had me try several different 8.x versions, but all had the issue. I’m now running a 7.x version and all has been good. So it appears it was something introduced in v8. I hope we can figure it out. I’ll keep this thread updated.
I just checked the ticket, and no update yet. Presume they are working to identify the root cause and develop a fix. Looking forward to getting this resolved. I’m giving up a lot of features running v7. I will update here when there is news.
I never did get it properly resolved/solved by Peplink, so I ended up going the AP One route like rvlife above; one device scanning/inbound and the other transmitting.
Same here. I finally gave up and went to a two router system. The Pepwave is my Internet source router (cellular, USB, or WiFi as WAN) and a secondary router is fed from there and services my wired and WiFi device connections. A bit more convolute, but it’s been rock stable.
As soon as I connect the scanning WiFi WAN to a WiFi network the Pepwave’s broadcast disappears. Disconnect from the wifi network and the Pepwave’s SSID reappears. 100% reproducible!
I’ll raise a ticket but sounds like I shouldn’t hold my breath!
@mystery and @Rokas_Musteikis I’ve added to my original ticket for a MAX BR1 Mk2. Ticket 20080289
The unit isn’t deployed so I’ve activated remote assistance.
The AP log shows changes to the band and the disassociation / re-association of the client but it isn’t transmitting when the 2nd wifi WAN is connected.
