R6900 Nighthawk AC1900 - 5ghz drops every day
Hi, I have the Costco router AC1900 R6900. Setup was smooth, however, the 5ghz network drops every day and I have to reboot the router. The network is visible, just won't connect without a reboot...

Hi Guppy,
Try to reset the router to factory default. If same thing, I would suggest contacting support team.

R6900p 5Ghz band crashed again, so changing the channel did not improve anything. However, this time post-dropout some more garbage characters showed up on the status page of the router GUI.

Update: enabling Smart Connect appears to make no difference, the 5Ghz drops out and gives garbage characters in the status page's channel information also.
