R7000 5ghz Disappearing
Seems to be a lot of independent questions/discussions on or this topic or similar topics... Looking for someone to give me a definitive answer, so here's the question: - My R7000 periodically and ...
I've been running Firmware Version V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 for a few months now without any 5GHz dropping. The big tip that helped me, was after doing the firmware update, I did a factory reset to reset all of the settings to default, and it also forces the router to get new internal drivers for itself. Before I did this, I was always losing my 5GHz.
I have latest firmware V1.0.3.68_1.1.31. To the question of SSID, the SSID is set to broadcast, but drops from view on all devices that can utilize the 5ghz band (I have several). When it drops, my devices reconnect to the 2.4ghz band. Only happens to 5ghz band. As I stated, the only way to get 5ghz back is to unplug the router and let it sit for a minute or two.
