Hi VBHS1999,

 

1. Try changing the wireless channel on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

2. Reset the router if changing wireless channel did not work.

    I have tried using different wireless channels.  I have also tried using the auto setting.

    I have also reset the router and this occurs right after wifi is setup and tested.
