What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 or 149 to 161 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?- St8103Oct 19, 2021Aspirant
No neighbors within wifi range but my 2.4Ghz was set to Auto. 5Ghz is set to channel 153. Also the 2.4 and 5G have separate SSIS's, I am not sure if that is recommended. I read in some places that they should be the same. I will update channels and see if that fixes things
