5GHz Network stops transmitting
After 4 days of use my C7800 stopped broadcasting on the 5GHz radio. No 5GHz activity light on the device. Only 2.4 GHz was working. Logging into the router showed that all devices were dropping off ...
Possible that having 27 cameras on the wifi maybe causing the problem of the wifi to fail. Espeically if there all on one frequency. Sounds like the wifi radios are getting loaded down with over bandwidth loads.
I should have been clearer in that it is a total of 27 security devices (4 cameras, the remainder are smoke/CO2 detectors, secure locks, and thermostats as well as a handful of Amazon and Google devices). Was never a problem for the previous Arris modem. It just became outdated and couldn't support the increased speeds we were getting from our ISP. (Not DOCSIS 3.1 compliant). Netgear tech support has had me turn off beamforming to see if that solves the problem of the 2.4 network being shut down.
