5.0 connection keeps dropping
Model C7000v2 Firmware: V1.03.01 Just moved to a new home and set up the router. The 2.4 connection works fine. The 5.0 connection keeps dropping internet connection. Did not have the problem at...
2000sq ft on one level is what I'd consider a large home. Mine is roughly 1100sqft per floor and I have a mesh system to cover the upstairs/downstairs areas because of reduced signal/speeds.
so your device doesn't have issues but you're closer?
Its just your wife that is having issues?
to many splitters can impact the coax stregths but you'd expect wired and 2.4ghz to have issues as well.
when you're having issues is it disconnecting, is it saying "connected, no internet", and do all devices have the issue at the same time? what I mean is do all the devices on 5ghz drop at the same time or are they intermittent?

I am trying to figure that out. We were in an 850 sf home and didn't have that problem. I do have a 2.4 ext. but it's on 2.4 and yuou have to actually connect to that. It is probably time to look into a mesh system.
