Be sure all other wireless radios are disabled on the SKY Q Router...
Please allow the OP to investigate/research this fouled up FW

The reason I know that it is a fault with the 2.4GHZ channel is because all my smart cameras which use that channel have all gone offline and wifi analyzer shows no ssid being broadcast on the 2.4ghz channel.
My support just ran out in February so wondered if the community can help. So far I have rebooted the router, tried disabling then reenabling the 2.4Ghz broadcast, but nothing has worked.
My router is RBR50 with one satellite version v2.5.1.8 . I have it set up in AP mode with a SKY Q Router ding the DHCP routr stuff.
Any help would be really appreciated.
how long have you had v2.5.1.8?
lots of problems, you may want to dump it and swtich back to your previous version.
Thanks I'll try the factory reset suggested by Furry this evening and failing that i'll try downgrading the firmware (I'll have to read up on that). I take it there have been lots of problems with this latest version of firmware??

Been a mixed bag. Some have had problems, some haven't. There are known Circle app issues that are resolved by disabling Circle. Then FW works right. Others have just done a factory reset and reconfigured the system again. Some problems are mis-configurations. Also there are ISP Modem issues with modems with built in routers that can cause problems aswell. Sometimes it is a hardware failure. I didn't see any problems with stock v2.5.1.8 when I had it loaded for months. I've know switched to Voxels FW:
Still, stable and solid. Even better than stock FW.

I'm sure those that have had problems are glad to hear this...
Had it just under a month I think. I'll do a factory reset this evening and if that doesn't work try downgrading the firmware.
