5G Keeps dropping
Firmware 1.3.2.134 My 5G wifi keeps dropping out randomly than fires back up automatically later. I've seen firmware issues identified but I didn't see anything specifically for the R6900P. Any...
there is a new version you can try.

I'd install it, do a factory reset, and then manually reinstall.
Is this correct:
1) Install firmware (what's the recommended method, download the file and upload via wifi?)
2) Factory reset by holding in the botton on the router, correct?
3) What is the "Manual install" method?
I wouldn't upload via wifi. when we see issues with corrupt firmware it tends to be by those who did it over wifi or using the app.
Then can you please briefly explain the process you suggest?
just follow the manual firmware upgrade process but use the older firmware. I just recommend doing it over and ethernet connection and not via wifi.
