R6400v2 timeouts under 5GHz load
Hi all, I am using r6400v2 router with latest firmware. I performed factory reset after upgrading. When I start using 5GHz network it would loose packets because of timeouts. 2.4GHz is a lot better...
have you tried changing the channel its using? maybe there's interference.
Do you have IPv6 enabled?
What firmware did you install?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Did you have this issue before?
I am using 44 channel where, according to android app, is one more wifi running, so that should not be a problem. Changed to 56 without improvement.
IPv6 disabled.
V1.0.4.126_10.0.102 firmware.
It's connected to ISP modem - GPON ONT H640G
I believe that the issue was not as much noticeable before, but I often had issues with wifi.
Strangely 2.4GHz/LAN network works as expected.
My test is:
- Keep ping 8.8.8.8 -t in the background
- Start speedtest
- Once speedtest starts there are Request timed out messages in the terminal
- Once speedtest completes, there are no request timed out messages in terminal.
