RAX120 Apple TV 4k issues
I'm having a big issue with my RAX 120, but with only 1 device in my household. I have a pretty simple network. I'm on ATT Fiber 1000 with their BGW210 gateway setup in IP passthrough mode, so there...
I've seen the disconnects on both the 2.4ghz and the 5gz. It tends to happen more on the 5 and that's what our phones and AppleTV4k are connected to. The 2.4ghz doesn't have a strong enough speed for the AppleTV4k since I'm streaming for TV, Netflix, etc. I have my 2.4 and 5 ghz networks named individually, something different. So it shouldn't be getting confused by the name.
One thing I did do was use the same names as I had setup on my previous Nighthawk router. Do you think it could have something to do with that? I've got through on all my Apple devices and done the "forget network" and reconnected.
Any thoughts?
No I don't think names would have anything to do with it. I'm just trying to figure out what else is different in our enivironments leading to you having issues and not me. I've even been able stream 4K on 2.4 Ghz without issues. I do run my RAX120 as an AP with my firewall acting as the actual router, though even in router mode I haven't had an issue with the AppleTV4K.
As for the disconnects for other devices I've seen that on rare occasion with mine and my sister's iphones.
Try running the RAX120 as an AP just as a test to see if the issues dissapear.
