2.4 Wifi drops intermittently on Nighthawk X4S
Hello, wondering if anyone has the same issue on firmware v1.0.1.56. 2.4ghz signal drops and rejects any connection for 10-15mins before it recovers. 5ghz signal works fine though.
Very annoying as all smart home devices are on 2.4ghz signal. Have tried searching and there's articles suggesting downgrading firmware to v1.0.2.52 which I've tried doing but router won't install it saying it's the wrong firmware.
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.:smileyhappy:

Did you try a factory reset after the firmware changes? And then manually resetting the device back up? Not using a backup configuration?
Be sure to post about this over in the DSL modem forum for your model modem:

Good Luck.
