Two Issues...Need Help Please!
Hi, I have been losing my mind with this two ongoing issues with my RS500....if people can help with either, much appreciated. My Echo Show 5 3rd Gen (Newest version) keeps freezing every day, u...
Thanks...wonder if you saw my newest issue from today....we lost our SSIDs out of nowhere, so went to check....the router turned on Smart Connect, so we could not see our different bands anymore. To make it worse, we CANNOT UNCHECK IT! We cannot turn off Smart Connect. The check boxes are all grayed out. This router is horrible. Literally in the middle of the day, just turned it on by itself and will not let us turn it off. We do not know what to do. Tried usual unplugging, checked all the settings, etc.
You sure nobody else has access to the routers web page. The router would not turn that seeing back on by itself. Needs user selectable interaction.
I'd factory reset the router and setup from scratch. Be sure you input a new admin log in pass word that you only know and don't give it out.
