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.
Either have your DSL in bridge mode, with the R7000 as a router. My setup worked great in this configuration.
Or have your DSL in router mode, with the R7000 as an access point. I did have an issue here with this setup when I introduced a network firewall appliance; hence, the DSL was in bridge mode, the network appliance serves as my router with the R7000 as an access point. Again, what did it for me was setting my 2.4G channel to 1. Right now, things are great.
Your issues sound eerily really similar to what I was having. It was like from a DHCP perspective, my cameras dropped off the face of the earth. If I unplugged and plugged the cameras back in, I would have them for a time period, but I would eventually lose them again. My DSL router was in bridge mode the whole time though and still is.
Good luck!
