Cannot Connect to Router WiFi Directly but is OK with Ubuquity Wired Wireless AP's

[faunus]

Hello!

I have a strange problem here ...

I have two AXE 11000 units connected in mesh mode. One (a Pro model) is the main router and the other is a node (base model).

Both use the latest Merlin firmware.

I cannot connect directly to either the 2.4 or 5.8 networks over wifi. I simply get the message "cannot connect to this network".

The various AP's that I have connected to the network have wifi that works perfectly on 2.4 and 5.8.

No problem over the LAN cables.

Sometimes, after about five minutes or so the wifi connects for a minute or so and then it gets dropped by the computers and I have to try to log on again.

then again "cannot connect to this network".

Any ideas ... I'm stumped!

Look for messages in the router's System Log when the client attempts to connect.

WPA 2/3 issue ? But, yes, look at the logs.

There is no AXE11000 Pro model. There is GT-AX11000 Pro and in combination with GT-AXE11000 the result may be reserved 5GHz radio for wireless backhaul. GT-AXE11000 has a single 5GHz radio. Various other APs connected to the network? Where the clients are actually trying to connect to?

I see in your older posts you have GT-AXE16000. Perhaps this is the correct model of your main router?
