Hello everyone, I did a search and couldn't find an exact match for my issue. My XR500 has been amazing for the past 3 months, but all of the sudden this past weekend I've been having problems wh...
Hmm... What 5GHz channel are you using? You're not using one of the one's labeled DFS are you? Just an idea.
DFS channels get disabled if a radar is detected nearby.
I don't recall anything labeled DFS...I used the wifi analyzer in the nighthawk app and it said 153 was the best one to use, so I used that. I turned off MIMO and beam forming to see if it happens again. Not sure if those were the causes or not.
153 isn't a DFS channel so that theory's out the window.
Let me know what happens now that you've disabled MIMO and Beamforming
Will do, so far it's been working as expected and notice no negatives from turning off MIMO and beamforming. Thanks for your help, really appreciate it.
