I bought the MT3000 router because I am in a situation where I have access to a mixed 2.4/5G WiFi network as my primary home network. I do not have access to any of the router settings etc... just an SSID and PW to use this mixed network. I have quite a few devices and I want to be able to do things like give them static IPs, use some wired and some wireless with 160mhz channel bandwidth. Basically I want to build my own private network that uses the main WIFI network for internet access.
I am running the mt3000 in network mode with a bridge to the main mixed 2.4/5G WiFi network. I can not tell the bridge to use the 2.4G radio to connect to the main WiFi, so it automatically connects as a 5G client. This means I can not change the channels or bandwidth of the 5G radio, it just automatically defaults to the same settings as the main network the bridge connects to. I also have problems using the 5G network, for example if I run speedtest.net while connected to the MT3000s 5G network the whole router crashes and resets, I do not have this issues when I connect to the MT3000 2.4G network.
Is my only option to use an external WiFi to Ethernet bridge connected to the WAN port, if I want control of the MT3000 5G settings, and to stop the crashing? Is there any way I can connect a USB WiFi 6 dongle to the MT3000 USB port that way the Bridge and WiFi Lan are on seperate radios? Am I just configuring the router wrong maybe?
