Might try disabling Smart Connect if enabled on the router and separate the SSID names.

Thank you.
So Smart Connect is not on, but will try changing the Wifi SSID. Right now they are just separated by 2.4 or 5 but the name is the same, meaning network 2.4 and network 5g (for example). Are you suggesting i change the name completely to something else to test this?

Have switched from Channel 1 to another Channel and still nothing.

Re-enable WPA2 and AES after checking this...
