Return this router to where you got it from. It is completely useless. I sent mine back to Amazon for a refund as faulty. Since I owned one which is now many months ago I am using the UniFi Mobile Router (UMR) by Ubiquiti which is bomb proof. The reality is that this is a faulty design with cheap electronics and buggy software. No amount of messing around with firmware is going to solve it. It should not even be on sale.
