5 GHz takes a few minutes to work while connected?

When i connected to 5GHz, my phone or other devices need to take a while (1-2minutes) to function even it saids connected, is it my settings’ problem? My 5GHz channel is on 153. Anything i should turn it on/off? Thank you!!

I can recommend a downgrade to the .62, .56 or .40 only - the .64 is buggy.

Hey, I think this Firmware-version is immature.

The .62 makes problems here, too. You can use .56 or .40 from the link above. I use the .56 now 😉

Nope. Do that:

- Download the firmware u want (.zip)

- unrar the zip (u need a .chk)

- browser: routerlogin.net

- go to: advanced

- administration

- Router Update

- "browse" and open to the .chk

- "upload" and wait few minutes

- (to get a clean install du a factory reset after flashing the firmware. You must set settings new then.)

- disable the automatic update function at "Router Update"

 

Good luck 😉
