I am trying to setup a working wireless network at my house. My setup works for a short while and then it stops working.
I have hAP ax3 downstairs and cAP ax upstairs. Configured with CAPsMAN with one SSID.
First I tried wirthout assigning fixed channels - it worked for a day but on next day I found out that both 5Ghz networks were set on the same frequency and I had issues with connection.
So I read this thread here below and tried to set it up on fixed channels:

Here is my current setup:

It worked fine for a day but now I found that that 5Ghz wifi on freq. 5680 is not available anymore. First I saw message like “could not load the channel” (or something similar) and now I can see “DFS channel availability check (1min)” - I can see it for one hour now…
What am I doing wrong?
Maybe I should set a secondary frequency on each Channel definition?
Or shall I go back to not defining fixed channels? But then why it somehow sets same channels/frequencies on both 5Ghz networks on its own?
