    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.

Hi all,

For those of you who have tried it, how has the beta firmware minions08 sent performed for you?

I noticed I was having the 5Ghz start to disappear from my phone last night after upgrading to the 68 firmware.

Thanks
