Devices won’t connect?
Hello! Hoping someone can help me out, as I’m definitely not smart when it comes to these types of things. I recently purchased an AX8 router and installed it in my home, which has U-verse cable an...
Yes it’s the AX80.
Sorry, I mean we have the netgear set to AP mode. It’s hard wired to the U-verse router, but we have the WiFi on the U-verse disabled, So the only WiFi signal in the house is coming from the netgear.
The reason I turned both 2.4 and 5 back on is because when I had them combined using the smart WiFi netgear setting, many devices dropped altogether and could not reconnect.
Now when I have both signals available, the arlo can connect to 2.4, the Vivint can connect to 5, etc. however, after a day or so they all drop again.

Also, on my windows laptop, the settings are fine. I’m able to connect to other private WiFi networks with no issues. For my WiFi however, the laptop doesn’t even see it as an option.
Also, our home google is now completely down. Was working just fine yesterday and now can’t connect to the internet.
Essentially what I’m seeing is this router is slowly booting off various devices after I have them set up and working for a few days.
