I am having this problem...the wl2 on my R8000 is not visible from any wireless client (laptops, Xbox, cellphones etc)
I only see the wl0 (5GHz) and wl1 2.4 GHz
The third radio which is wl2 and runs on 5GHz is not visible. The web-interface shows that it is present. It lets me set a SSID, network mode etc, everything is sale as wl0 (just the SSID is different)
Before I installed Kong's the second 5 GHz band / radio was visible on my wireless clients.
Any solution?
What build are you running? This is what I am running - DD-WRT v3.0-r30700M kongac (09/27/16)
Just checked......I am running the same one: Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30700M kongac (09/27/16)
Are you able to see the second 5 GHz band on that firmware?
Mine does work. Did you try a 30-30-30 reset yet?
Try the default regulation domain e.g. United States
No I have not done the 30-30-30 reset yet. I can try that and report back.
Thanks for chiming in, Kong!
I checked my router's setting; the "Regulatory Domain" is already set to UNITED_STATES
Regulatory Mode is OFF
TPC Mitigation factor is 0 (Off)
Thena make sure you set a fixed channel.
WOW Kong......you are da man!!!!! THANK YOU!
the moment I changed the wl2 "Wireless channel" from Auto to 36 (chosen as per rating in the Wifi analyser app on my Android phone).........my second 5G radio became visible!
However, I do not understand why "Auto" was not working. Is there a technical explanation for this?
Also, while we are talking channels.......is is possible to have channel 14 on R8000?
The wifi Analyzer app says the channels I have been using (1 and 11) are not that good, 14 is better. But wl1 has only channel 1 to 11.
Hi Guys,
I have a similar problem, Im trying to assign my interface into a new bridge. The problem is that I can't see my wl interfaces on the Assign to bridge pane.
Any idea?
Regards,
By default dd-wrt 5G2 is very weak, I can only detect it within a few inches. I checked stock Netgear firmware, it is using chanel 48 and 165 (with VHT80 upper/upper). I manually changed to that and it works. But note 30700 has this issue and I cannot fix it with channel change.
I saw the same thing. I will try changing too. Thanks.
