I had a really old router setup to this originally as well as one that came with my ISP Starry and never had this problem. This is def something with the router itself. 2.4 is auto, 5-1 is 44, 5-2 is 153
What is the model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What phone brand and model do you have?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
I had mine loaded with v.62 and felt this version was the best.
Smart Connect enabled. Beamforming and MIMO was enabled I believe along with setting manual channels 1, 40 and 149 worked for me.
20/40Mhz disabled on 2.4Ghz.
Armor, Circle and Traffic Meter disabled as well though I had them enabled at some point on v.76 which turned out to be not good FW as I saw the DNS issues. So I rolled back to v.62. Something to try.
