Hello,

I am running - Router Firmware Version - V2.1.2.18
Any help will be greatly appreciated

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem? Any built in router here by chance?
What OSX version is the Mac using? What Mac is this device? Iphone? Laptop? iMac?
Try disabling the following:
Beamforming, MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming if seen.
Thank U for responding - I am not technically savvy - is there a limit on number of devices that I can connect - reason I ask is if all the people in my holusehold are using some device we get this problem - so issue is not really with only the Mac(be cause sometimes it connects without any issues) - it even happens when my wife sometimes turns on her Dell Windows laptop or I use my iPad (it feels like if there are quite a few devices I see this problem)
ISP is Spectrum (used to be Time Warner)
Modem is: Technicolor
Mac - Macbook Pro
Mac OS - High Sierra
I dont know where do I go in and disable this:
Try disabling the following:
Beamforming, MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming if seen
I went into Advanced Wireless Settings and found the following: (should I disable the Daisy Chain Topology)?
Backhaul Topology
Daisy Chain Topology is check marked
Beamforming, MIMO and Fast Roaming are unchecked
