2.4Ghz Band just decided to stop working ... please help
Dear Community. I have done a seach throughout the forums, but either missed the thread or it does not exist for the Nighthawk X8 R8500 AC5300 Smart WiFi Router. Last night, in the middle of t...
Okay...Thanks. Well, I did get this at Best Buy....guess I may have to take it back in for a replacement/warranty.
Thank you for your response.
Yes...I have verified several times that the radio is on ... and adjusted the settings inline with suggestions in similar threads.
The radio is "enabled", and 20/40 MHz Coexistence is also enabled.
My devices (phones, tables, Nest, etc.) can "see" the network ... it is just that nothing is connecting, as if it is not there.
oh...and no error messages from what I can see.
When you tried to connect to your radio(SSID) what happens? Was the connection process automatic before?
When I have tried to connect, any of the previously connected deviced go into a "connect loop" wtihout actually connecting ... and eventually fail.
The connection process, once I put in to correct password, was automatic.
On many of the devices, I have tried "forgetting" the network and tried to connect "fresh" ... with no luck.
I do apparently have a firmware update available ... but, given what I have read in other threads, that may be a roll of the dice.
My suggestion is to reset the router and configure the router anew and try. Of before this you can only reconfigure 2.4GHz band and try it first.
