A6200 connects at 5 Ghz (866 Mbps) then drops to 2.4 Ghz (130 Mbps) after a varying amount of time.

OS = Windows 10

 

Is it the A6200 driver?

standalone-V1.0.011-win8.1_win10_signed.exe

 

Is it the AT&T Pace 5268ac Residential Gateway?

I have a Surface Pro 4 that has the same problem.

 

This week my 5 Ghz connection holds for long periods of time (hours) before dropping to 2.4 Ghz. Disabling and enabling the A6200 brings back the 5 Ghz band most of the time. I'm beginning to think it is an AT&T problem.

Hi donb8637,

 

That is the standalone driver of A6200.

Do you have other wireless devices that has stable 5Ghz connection from your router?

Hi donb8637,

 

If issue happens on both devices then it might be the router. You may try changing the channel or any wireless settings of your router and observe again.
