AX8 Nighthawk drops signal strength for no reason

[redbird97]

So my AX8 will just drop the strength to all of my devices for no reason. I noticed it more since i began streaming games from my PC to my iPad.

I checked the the signal strength in the app to my devices and it was one bar on everything (all wifi devices though show strong connection on the devices themselves). I found that doing a speedtest kicks the router in the butt and seems to get things back to a tolerable level for a little bit.

See the screenshot to see the before, and then immediately after running a speedtest.

Firmware: 1.0.5.132_1.0.69

Any ideas?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I’ll try the channel suggestions.
