Found Fix To IoT Disconnect Issues
Hi All, I've been experiencing daily disconnections on the Orbi 970 IoT network while using the "2.4 GHz only" mode. However, after switching to the "2.4 GHz and 5 GHz" mode, these disconnections ...
Correct. My connection has been stable for a week with no disconnects, whereas previously I would experience them daily, particularly with devices like Nest, 2.4GHz-only Ring cameras, and other 2.4GHz-only devices. This improvement has been a significant relief.
How many devices did you have all contacted at one time while using only the 2.4Ghz radio for the IOT network?
44 devices connected.
Are any of these 44 devices 5Ghz supporting?
Possible that having that many on the 2.4Ghz could be causing it to over load and destabilize. Seems that since you enabled 5Ghz that some of these off loaded to 5Ghz and whats left on 2.4Ghz is stabilized.
I agree with your theory. Currently, 21 of the 44 devices are connected to the 5GHz IoT network. Surprisingly, I've found that many devices, initially connected to the 2.4GHz band, also support 5GHz. This includes the latest models of Alexa devices and Nest thermostats
