Internet disconnections
Have had this system working flawless for 3 months, then disconnections to the internet happens; they are currently attached to a TP-Link 7650. Modem will be operational - no error logs, all light...
2.4GHz using channel 10, seems like I am the only one using it as all other routers are constantly rotating channels (about 6 in vancinity)
5.0Ghz using channel 42, only router using the lower frequencies compared to 150+
I live in a semi-detached neighbourhood, but wifi analyzer is only picking up 4-6 devices. ~20,000 SqFt
So when the internet gets "disconnected", I tried pinging my router and google's DNS 8.8.8.8
I'm getting packets from my router, but getting full loss on the 8.8.8.8 pings.
The VOIP home phone line is active; would this be a possible faulty satellite where my devices aren't getting internet connect? but the router maintains internet access?
