Hello ChaosTechNet,
Welcome to the community! I'd like to look into this further for you. May you send me a private message with your email address and router serial number.

- ChaosTechNetMay 10, 2021TutorSo I ended up sending the router back to Amazon for a refund. The whole thing stopped working. Even the 5Ghz just kept dripping signal. I'm a Computer Technician so I'm highly skilled at this stuff. I tried everything. Then after doing research about this particular new WiFi 6E router, I found that tons of people are having the same issue with this model. That's why I didn't try another replacement of the same one. My Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 model works just fine with no problems. Except I can't get that new 6Ghz wifi 6e now. So I'll still to my current router until Netgear figures out what went wrong with their new WiFi 6E routers since so many people have the same problems.
