The connection rate supported is 5Gigabits - are you saying I should be using a Cat6A cable instead of a CAT8 ethernet cable?
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) should be used, not UTP (Un-Shielded Twisted Pair).
Yes, I have also tried the WAN internet port post factory resetting but see no difference. Again this wouldn't help my case as I have been using the Multi-Gig port since 2020 and haven't had any issues since then until now.
The Transmit Power Control is set to 100%. Updated screenshot provided.
Try setting the power to 25%...
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 and 149 to 161 channel on 5Ghz.
Have you tried enabling Smart Connect?
Ah gotcha, thanks for clarifying!
I'll try setting the power transmit% to 25% and let you know how it goes 🙂
I've tried the manual channels mentioned periodically over time but haven't seen a difference here, to be honest.
I have enabled Smart Connect previously but found it was interfering with the performance of down/up speeds I was getting unfortunately. Do you recommend re-enabling this to combat the power issues being reported?
Lets try the cable and transmit power first.
I would set manual channels as well.
I might set 40Mhz only channel width as well.
Hey FURRYe38 - transmit power failed and setting the manual channels for each 2.4 and 5G bands failed to resolve the issue unfortunately (lasted two hours though!)
To confirm I am using the following cable now which looks to be STP supported: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07YQQ8BG5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How does one set 40mHz only channel width? I only see the option for 20.40 MHz Coexistence. Let me know if I should try anything else.
Uncheckmark the check box next to 20/40Mhz.
Can try disabling WMM feature I guess as well...
