The steps I went through I will list here and actually the short of it is I changed nothing from the default setting other than having the latest beta firmware or non-baited for them or whatever the latest official one is, and turned of Ax on 2.4

Like all of us we were going along fine with a firmware for a while.
I read on here that people were starting to have a problem with an auto update approximately three weeks later I got an auto update and everything crashed. Sometime satellites with drop off and about 30 different Wi-Fi items including computers or cell phones with drop off and or not be able to reconnect.

For this time I would reboot about 5 to 6 times and then finally everything would be back to normal for about a week and then it would repeat again.

Then I was given the opportunity to get firmware to which I believe is the most recent one we most of us have now. Then after that it was stable for about two weeks and then it went back to the exact old way as it used to go. And then it got worse where if I try to do a reboot whether command reboot or just unplug let it sit for 10 minutes and plug back in, still had lots of problems

This time it would take maybe 20 to 30 reboots or five or 10 but I had to keep doing them till everything came back on again. This time I had a lot more problems with satellites were one would work and the other one would not.

At this point I was kind of getting desperate so I was like OK first I will do a factory reset finally.

Did a factory reset and then did the newest version of beta which again I believe we all have an hour of access to. And the issues return to like it did the first time work a little bit easier we only had to do five or six reboots sometimes 10 and then everything will go back to normal. If she was stuff like my iPhone iPad or different Wi-Fi devices would never connect again until I did the theory of the reboots.

At this point I was getting frustrated and think I was going to do the unofficial royal back but I really did not want to:

Did was I took Furrys yeah shins on what certain setting should be and I set them all to that and nothing really worked. I tried adjusting stuff one at a time.

4.6.5.14

All the various other settings again I made sure to capture everything and so everything was put back.

This Sunday I just went through various settings wanted to time change them one and a time. Reboot and see what happened .

Started changing some base again on what Furry said we’re suggestions to fix. For me nothing worked till I got to AX for 2.4 and 5

Turned of AX for both rebooted and all was 90% stable and full speeds I got before.

After a week decided to turn Ax on for 5 as have a few devices that can take advantage of Wi-Fi six.

So turned Ax on for 5 and rebooted and staff the same. Then turned on AX for 2.4 and went back to really bad finally several reboots and truenes 2.4 ax off and all. Good .

Do have power at 50% for both 2.4 and 5 but. Was at. 100% and reduced and got a bit more stable but balanced devices better among Base and satellites.

Wish would have more wisdom and several adjustments to make more people stable but sadly this is what I did.

Still every morning still wake up hoping it’ll work even though it’s been stable now for quite a while now. Not like I don’t trust it but yeah I don’t trust it Lolo

And yes they said before weekly there’s about 5 to 7 devices that drop off and come back on some instantly so I’m within three minutes a few times I have to go and actually pull it from the wall or turn off the lightbulb and turn it back on again screw the lightbulb and it works. There are some devices that it seems to always a fact and then there’s other ones it seems to float around.

That’s where I get my 90% that majority the time everything‘s fine Internet connections fine watching movies is fine just sometimes some Wi-Fi plugs drop off and drop back on

Scary that so many different people have different results

Good luck to all
