What channel is the wifi-wan source on? Hard code your client wifi channel to the same and see if that improves things.
I have found that auto-channels is problematic combined with wifi-wan.

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.
Do you have a ticket open with them?
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.
Having the exact same issue; interested in hearing if anything (other than dropping to 7.x) has been figured out the last couple weeks?
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 had to go the AP One route and effectively separated the transmit radios (AP One) and the receive radios (Transit Max Cat 18 WiFi as WAN). Full details here: https://forum.peplink.com/t/internal-ap-very-slow-sometimes-not-enabled/35227/4?u=rvlife
I think (think not sure) that this problem has reappeared in 8.2.0.
Does anyone have a fix yet other than disabling one of the wifi WANs?
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.
Thanks to @BrJBaker and @LUV2RV for your fast replies. I don’t have the issue on my new Max Pro 5G, but do have the issue on my MAX-TST-DUO.
I have discovered that I can keep both WiFi WANs active as shown and all works OK.
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!
Raise a ticket, post ticket # here, and please keep us posted.
@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.
@dnavany I have responded to your created ticket, please try using my provided firmware for this issue.
Thank you! Seems to be a fix based on short testing on my Transit Duo. I’ll check some other devices.
I am glad we were able to help out
Can you please share here? Is there a fix? Is it going to be incorporated into a future release?
Please open up a new ticket referring to this forum post, our support team will answer all of your questions and provide firmware download links if needed.

I dont understand? Why can’t it be answered here? Why do I have to go through extra steps?
