How long have you had the router for?
How are you determining the single is weak?
I've had the router for about 1.5 years. It was a renewed one from Amazon.
The signal shows up sometimes on my phone's wifi list with 1 bar. Sometimes I can connect to it, sometimes it disappears before it has time to connect.
What brand and model is the phone?
Does this happen with other wifi devices on the 2.4Ghz radio?
Do you have Smart Connect disable?
Using channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz same thing happens?
Do you have Enable WMM and beamforming and MIMO enabled and 40Mhz only selected Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
What brand and model is the phone?
- Happens across multiple models (Samsungs, Honor)Does this happen with other wifi devices on the 2.4Ghz radio?
- Don't have any other devices on the 2.4. Only laptops connected to the 5ghz.Do you have Smart Connect disable?
- Yes
Using channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz same thing happens?
- YesDo you have Enable WMM and beamforming and MIMO enabled and 40Mhz only selected Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
- Yes WMM (YES QoS)- Yes Beamforming
- No MIMO - don't think my printer or my phones are compatible and can't find the setting on my router admin portal

Possible the radio maybe going bad...
