R7000 5ghz not stable
Running latest firmware V1.0.9.64_10.2.64 - Multiple devices connected to the 5GHZ side are very unstable. If you do a constant ping to the router you can see the dropped packets as shown in attachment 2.4ghz is fine but I need the speed of 5. I have tried messing with the 5ghz channels with no luck. This is in a single family home so neightbors are not too close. Anyone else have this issue and anything I can try. I need to try another vendor if I cant fix this. WPA2-PSK [AES] if that matters. Also did complete factory reset recently.
Agreed, many people are having issues with the current firmware. You can downgrade to earlier firmwares though. Have you tried this?

I will give that a try. What version is considered stable? I only use simple port forwarding and WIFI in the house.
