- Th3-0n3Mar 10, 2021TutorHello I'm having this problem more often with the latest firmware. I have been having this issue since the router release. But now it happens more then 3 times a week and some days 2 or 3 times a day where I have to reboot the router to get the 5 ghz band to work again, and get faster speed on the 2.4 ghz . I had an old firmware where this problem would occur at least 1 a month but the router updated automatically even thoe I had it set to not auto update. At this point I haven gave up on the router and for now the brand. I'm looking for a better router from another company because this issue doesnt get solve.
