R8000 Connectivity with 2 Routers
Hi Team X6 R8000 router Firmware V1.0.4.84_10.1.84 Internet speed test "Good", phone app shows 302.24 down, 23.91 up Panel lights: Power: Solid white Internet: flashing white 2.4: solid white/...
I notice too that my internet is buffering when i watch the news. This shouldn't be happening. I should have more than enough speed. I'm gong to disconnect the second router and see what happens. It buffers every 3 to 5 minutes. its ridiculous.
I appreciate your help Flurrye, but it appears you've abandoned me. I'm also paying for phone support. I'm not getting anywhere with either.
Best wishes.
I recommend narrowing all this down and working with just 1 router and turning OFF all wifi devices that you can. Setup limited devices and see how things go with just 1 router. I use manual channels 1 on 2.4Ghz and 40 or 149 on 5GHz.
Smart Connect, Beamforming, WMM and MIMO enabled. 40Mhz only set.
If you can get to a stable operation with 1 router, then maybe start graduating adding more devices or putting a 2nd router online maybe in AP mode.
Thank Flurrye for all your help. I have paid support. They were supposed to contact me in 24 to 48 hrs. I've not heard back. I'm going to returnt the equipment. I may buy a more expensive solution or go with another company. I've not decided.
Thanks!To make this a bit more simple, you may want to look in to a WIFI MESH System.
Good Luck.
