2.4g connection unstable while 5g works perfectly
Well, I tried to look for similar situation but unfortunately I wasn't able to find one, and thus I created this new discussion. I have the R6900 Nighthawk AC1900 setup at my living room. In fact I got this router about 4 months ago this March (2017). The setup is to use as a AP and it worked so charming until about a week ago. I have 2 Wifi IP cam use the 2.4g channel and the rest devices (laptop, phone, etc) use 5g channel. I'm sure that it should not be related to some bandwidth issues since I was able to have smooth video recording from both IP cams for over 2 months since the original setup. I am still able to use 5g channel to smoothly watch Netflix movies or watch Youtube clips with no noticable lag, Skype video chat works well as well, not to mention surfing the webpages or IMs. The above are all working just fine under 5g. In fact, I tried to test in many different ways, the 2.4g is allowed to connect, assign IP address, but nothing else such as any data flow coming after. Searched for the latest firmware V1.0.1.22_1.0.18, updated but no luck. I'm wondering if anyone knows why the 2.4g network just suddenly suspended/mal-functioned? Any suggestion will be appreciated! Hopefully it should not be a hardware issue since the R6900 isn't cheap, and it is only a few months old only... Fred
