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.
One thing that may help at least from a 2.4G perspective ... select channel 1.
I had a tough time getting some wireless IP cameras around my home to stay connected. I naturally selected channel 11 because doing a scan using inSSIDer revealed that it was the channel with no one on it. My cameras can only use 2.4G.
For three weeks nothing but grief to keep these cameras connected. I then remembered something back in my DD-WRT days where someone stated to the effect that they could get things to work only on channel 1 with a problem they had. Out of desperation I thought why not.
For the past 5 days or so my cameras have been solid.
Now, it could be the fault of the cameras; however, it works for me. I may prefer the clear channel 11, but right now channel 1 is the ticket. Give 1 a whirl.
