Connection issues with Nighthawk XR500
I have a Nighthawk XR500, it's a XR500 V2.3.2.134 setup. I am operating it within my home. It's been working great up until recently when it starts to randomly lose Wi-Fi connection in the house. ...
Thanks guys. I have enabled the debug and capture, I will also look through the other part of the community for these gaming based routers. I did end up changing my 2.4 Ghz radio channel to channel 3, one that showed no other device using that channel based on my Wi-Fi channel scan and I will give it 24 hours to see if fails again or not. That will be a huge tell for me right there.
2.4ghz has channel overlap. so if you're using channel 3, its actually on channels 1-6 because of the overlap.
Its why we usually recommend channels 1-6-11 for 2.4ghz.
