Wifi Lost on AC1750 R6400v2
Dear All, I own Router R6400v2 AC1750. Firmware V1.0.4.106_10.0.80 (latest version). It is configured in Wifi Acces Point, behind freebox internet box. I use WiFi « n » only + Ethernet. My rou...
I use only 2,4 GHz.
- The Wifi problem appears also when I stand just next to the router
- I live in the countryside, there are just a few other WiFi networks around (3 exactly)
- Some of my devices are only compatible with 2,4 GHz
Thanks a lot !

You can try downgrading the firmware.
But I'd actually start by moving all your devices with 5ghz, to the 5ghz band.Its significantly faster and has less interference.
And it isn't just other routers in the area for 2.4ghz. Many devices use the 2.4ghz band.
- Well, same situation with older firmware (in fact I updated firmware trying to solve the problem, without success).
I understand the 5 GHz idea, but some of my devices are not compatible. In fact, using both network 2,4 + 5 GHz creates confusion (example : Chromecastv2 automatically connect to 5 GHz where my phone is still only compatible with 2,4 GHz...)...
Well maybe I'll try this to test. But, well, I bought the router to use 2,4 GHz mainly and 5 GHz as future benefit...
Thanks !
