Hi All,
Just want to verify the following.
1. Are the devices still connected to the wireless network but no internet access or the network disappears?
2. If it is still connected to the network but no internet access, is wired connection working?
3. Does disconnection happens on both bands?
4. Have you tried changing channels for both networks?
5. I assumed most of you has done factory reset but just want to verify it the said step has been done.

The posted solution does not work. I just bought the router a few weeks ago and am hving this issue. It is updted to the current firmware.
to answer the questions:
1. Yes, devices re connected to wifi but have no internet access. The Nighthawk app on my iphone can connect to the router and shows full internet connection via speed test, but running speedtest from browser fails
2. wired works perfectly
3. from what I ccan tell this happena on all bands
4.no, do no know how to do this

Just for the sake of deduction, did you try a factory reset after the most recent firmware was applied?
