OP seems to be stating this issue doesn't occur w/ the 2.4GHz & the SSD connected, only w/ 5 GHz but it really does read that the SSD is throwing some EMI.

@obou

Wrap a couple of sheets of aluminium/tin foil around the SSD & its cable... but beforehand do a site survey:

> **[WiFiAnalyzer | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vrem.wifianalyzer/)**
>
> Optimize your Wi-Fi network

Can you get into LuCI & disable the mount point? I'd like to know what happens when you're on the 5 GHz, Repeating, initially without the SSD mounted... then what happens when you manually mount the SSD.

Having Wifi Analyzer running while doing all that should be a considerable help. You can filter results to just your specific network (in this case).

You're going to need to SSH into your Beryl AX. See:
