NIghtHawk EX7000

HI i've had this NightHawk Ex7000 since Novmber to extend my wifi in my other bedroom & my living room is right underneath the bedroom and it was working just fine all this time but now my roku in the living room says not connected and my iphone cant seem to find the 2.4G but the 5G comes up the only way ive been able to get the 2.4 to work again is if i power off the NightHawk & turn it on again then it works again till the next day then its the same problem again. I ve checked to make sure that its been updated with all the new updates & everything, I check My router and the signal strength and everything is excellent, Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this?

That stinks. So the 2.4ghz band just drops? And nothing can connect to it? Have you tried swapping the wifi channel? I find using Netgear's Wifi Analytics app on the phone quite useful. You can see which channel has least interferance and try that?

 

Update: I found this while I was digging for my beamforming issue..

Seems like it's a common issue you're having. I'd try some channel swapping, maybe using a static IP, or messing with the Fastlane settings. Right now I have an issue with trying to turn off beamforming. Hope this helps!
