Question about WMM on C7000v2
I began to experience frequent disconnections during zoom meetings. When I ping 8.8.8.8 or 192.168.0.1, it shows frequent "timeout"(3%-9%). Some of the posts suggested to disable WMM, so I did. It solved the problem. No more 'timeout" when I ping 8.8.8.8. However, after I disabled WMM, the internet speed maintained between 20-30MB/s which is lower than the average. Once I I turned on WMM, the speed went back to 70-90MB/s, but the frequent 'timeout' also occured while I pinged the router.
How can I solve this problem? Thanks.

Leave wmm on.
have you noticed if you're connected to the 2.4ghz or the 5ghz?
2.4ghz is slower and more sensitive to interference

The same problem occurs, no matter I connect to 2.4 or 5GHz wifi.
Thanks.
