5 GHz takes a few minutes to work while connected?
When i connected to 5GHz, my phone or other devices need to take a while (1-2minutes) to function even it saids connected, is it my settings’ problem? My 5GHz channel is on 153. Anything i should turn...

Nope. Do that:
- Download the firmware u want (.zip)
- unrar the zip (u need a .chk)
- browser: routerlogin.net
- go to: advanced
- administration
- Router Update
- "browse" and open to the .chk
- "upload" and wait few minutes
- (to get a clean install du a factory reset after flashing the firmware. You must set settings new then.)
- disable the automatic update function at "Router Update"
Good luck ;)
