Rutx50 wifi problem

[dawada]

Hi, I bought a rutx50 a couple of days ago. wired works great with a sim in it, but the wif doesn’t work well at all, I can connect from many android phones, but it turns out sometimes very slow, sometimes it doesn’t work at all despite being connected. I tried resetting and keeping the default configurations but it still doesn’t work. i don’t understand if it’s my wifi card that’s malfunctioning, or if i’m doing something wrong. I noticed that a lot of these errors appear in the log:

Has anyone had similar wifi problems?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and for the details you’ve provided.

Could you please confirm which firmware version you are currently using? We recommend updating to the latest version, RUTX_R_00.07.10.2, as this often resolves connectivity issues and enhances performance.

From the logs you’ve shared, it appears the issue may be linked to connected devices adjusting their power-saving settings frequently. This behavior can sometimes occur due to fluctuating network demand or a weak connection, causing your device to toggle settings in an attempt to maintain optimal connectivity.

Here are some suggestions to help stabilize your Wi-Fi performance:

1. Check Radio Channels: Try changing the Wi-Fi channels on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (for example, channels 11 and 36, respectively). This can help reduce interference from other networks and improve signal stability.
2. Set Transmit Power to 100%: Ensure that the transmit power is set to 100% in your router’s settings to maximize signal strength.
3. Verify Antenna Connections: Make sure all Wi-Fi antennas are securely attached and tightened to ensure strong and stable coverage.

Best Regards,
