Don't leave your 2.4hgz channel at auto. PIck a least congested non-overlapping channel (1,6,or 11).

 Thanks for a great suggestion.

I have been moving to unoccupied channels with empty adjacent channels.

To bad for me the stated problem persist.

I may pursuit  an exchange at BestBuy.

 

Thanks again

    I am eating the lost of 2.4Ghz. wifi ap.

    5ghz wifi is working.

    Guest wifi ap, 2.4Ghz and 5ghz are working.

    I reconfigured guest 2.4Ghz as a replacement for the lost 2.4Ghz wifi. Not sure what the security implication is with using a Guest wifi ap using all the same setting as the 2.4Ghz plus allowing access to other computer on network.

     

    Thanks
