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 ...
Please help me understand something. Do I even need the IoT network?
Does the ferrari network only do 5Ghz and 6Ghz? so the IoT (i3 network) is needed for 2.4ghz devices.
Also do you think there is a speed difference between ferrari and i3 5Ghz networks if the device does not support 6GHZ? Like should I move my 2.4Ghz/5Ghz capable devices over to Ferrari to get a speed increase...
I find and have found that just leaving all devices on the main, is the best option, so easy to fix and swap devices on the main than swap between and play with both is just nonsense to me. If the router can't handle it then its time to swap routers.
On another note not related to this- the firmwares Netgear has been releasing for this wifi 7 router , has been great compared to other Netgear routers I have had. Meaning not causing other problems, just fixing things, NICE.
I have over 60 devices , No IoT , all on the main and no problems to date.
