Re: RAX120 drop internet, comes back after reboot

Yes, yes
Wifi channels 13 and 44.

Not at home now to check settings, but it's all default. Factory reset a few weeks ago and all I did was change the SSID and set the WAN connection

Thanks

Re: RAX120 drop internet, comes back after reboot

Can you try channel 1 and 40 if there not busy? 

 

Also set 40Mhz only on 2.4Ghz. 
I would enable beamforming and MIMO features under Advanced/Wireless settings as well. 

 

What devices do you have all connected to the router? 

 

Does both wireless and wired connection see issues or just wifi?

Re: RAX120 drop internet, comes back after reboot

I don't have any wired clients at the moment.
Checked with a WiFi analyser app just now. My 5ghz network had a hidden network that is quite strong overlapping on chan 44. So presume changing to 40 will mitigate this? I have captured a pic of the 2.4 range near me. My network is SKYNET. Quite busy on that also near me. So changing that to 1 looks like it may help ?

Thanks

Yes, lets go to 1 and 40. 

Might also try lowering the power from 100% to 50% and see how it runs as well. Helps to lessen the wifi interferences from other wifi nieghbors. Power is either under basic wireless settings or advanced/wireless settings.
