Dropped connections Tech Support recommendation - not firmware or Google caused
I have been experiencing dropped connections. I was upgraded to the latest firmware 2.1.2.18. I also looked at my logs and saw a bunch of DOS / ARP (denial of service) attacks from four different d...
Now I'm having a different dropped connection issue. My AT&T router is stating "Node XX.XX.XX.XX is down" when I have a dropped connection. I'm calling tech support again because I think Orbi is still going down and my AT&T router can't connect to a device it previously could connect to.
The next tech support person I talked to had me change a bunch of settings:
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING, MU-MIMO and Fast Roaming
Then he had me change my channel for 2.4G and 5G as he suspected there were overlaps. I used WiFi Analyzer to find the channels that were not used in my area.
I then purchased (for $9.95) Net Uptime Monitor and am running it on my PC to check my internet connection every 5 seconds. It will give me a log of the test and tell me when the network was down.
This last configuration seemed to work. No drops so far.
