So I managed to get a router that supports AX mode.
I wanted to try out the GT in Wireless bridge mode.
Upon initial configuration of the GT router for wireless bridge mode on 5Ghz-2 radio, and pointed it at my AX wifi router, seems that the GT either does not work correctly or possible that the GT is wanting other channels to use. After the GT attempts to connect to the main AX router, I'm seeing both wifi LEDs on the GT turn off for a new seconds then turn back ON for several seconds, then turn back OFF. This seems to continue and be stuck in a loop.
I can still access the GTs UI if I set up a static IP for the bridge mode. I can then re-configure 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz-1 radio to connect to the AX router, these two radios are successful in connecting and work in bridge mode. I know that 5Ghz-1 only supports up to AC mode and do see 1733Mpbs on this radio. I only see about 570Mbps on 2.4Ghz AX.
Another curious thing I see, when I do a scan for wifi SSIDs to use, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz-1 only list the AX routers SSID. 5Ghz-2 radio doesn't see or list the AX routers SSID for that radio.
I presume that there maybe something missing like channels on the AX router or the GT has something wrong on the 5Ghz-2 radio while in Bridge mode. I'm going to see if I can get another AX router to test with, maybe a 2nd GT-AX11000 and see if this still happens or not and rule out either the GT or the AX router.
I collected systemlogs right after the LEDS started going OFF and back ON for the 5Ghz-2 radio bridge mode.
I Started a chat session with ASUS today. Not really helpful, mostly reset both router and GT and try again. Ya, this didn't change anything.
Any ideas or thoughts? Any one else with a GT-AX11000 that can try 5Ghz-2 radio on wireless bridge mode with another AX router?
The GT is a great router in Router mode. No big complaints here. It just works.
