2 TopicsC6300 2.4GHz wifi radio stops working and requires reboot
I have a new c6300 that I bought and installed a few weeks back with firmware V2.01.14 and configured to only operate the 2.4GHz wifi radio, i.e. I have the 5.0GHz wifi radio unchecked/disabled in advanced | advanced setup | wireless settings because i only need/use the 2.4GHz wifi radio. What im finding is that every week or so, seemingly after making use of wifi network by my mobile devices to carry out mobile OS updates, that the 2.4GHz wifi radio stops working. By that i mean the SSID no longer shows up in available wifi networks on my laptops, tablets and phones and for those that are already configured with that wifi network ssid & password they are unable to connect. The only resolution Ive been able to arrive at is to visit the c6300s administration web UI advanced view and select the "reboot" option after which the 2.4GHz wifi radio starts showing up and working again for all my devices configured to use it. Does this sound like something others have also experienced b4 that has a known fix or a firmware update that addresses it?

I have identical c6300 installed at 2 homes (not next door) with exactly the same setup and configuration. Both c6300 have same type and firmware level Dlink cameras connected using wifi. Wifi setting is 2.4Ghz, broadcast, auto channel selection, speed up to 450Mbps, wpa and wpa2 security selected. One c6300 connects with no problem what so ever. The other devices triy to connect to 2.4Ghz but will drop. I checked and confirmed as well as change passphrase. Devices that cannot connect include ipad 3&4, kindle hdx, win10 laptop with dual band n. Only device that can connect at both site ont the 2.4Ghz is a LG LGMS323 android phone. Comcast at both site. Let me know if I can provide you with additional details. Thanks3.3KViews0likes3Comments
