NightHawk X6 R8000 and 2.4 anomaly
Cross posted. They suggested I try this group. Thanks for any help. I'll try suggestions tomorrow morning. Firmware Version V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 other than NightHawwk X6 R8000 I don't know a mo...
In the end
Implicit beam forming is disabled
2.4 is on channel 6
I returned my pw to original - so I didn't have to possibly fix other things (Like my printer which I got going again) and I will check it and pray it stays connected.
Let me know if any of this helps you.
The end.
So, this morning after contemplating and procrastinating and poking around --- I noticed a checkbox that was checked (at the bottom of the advanced wireless settings page) enable implicit BEAMFORMING. I unchecked rebooted. Tried unplug/replug therm. and it worked!!!
Now I need to decide do I keep the other changes I made? re: pw without special characters and changed channel from auto to 6.
I also realize that I need to wait and make sure that it STAYS connected, but the actual process went smooth like butter. I will keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks.
I would also like to add that my viewpoint on having to disable this "feature" is disheartening. Does'nt disabling defeat the purpose of this dual band router? My 2 cents.
BTW I am hoping this works and also helps someone else. I've seen a lot of posts related.
