sagemcom fast 5688w internet going out or losing connection
the Sagemcomm FAST 5688W that i have has been losing internet connect for a while now and it is getting worse. it has gotten to where i have to reboot the gateway daily sometimes twice a day. i spoke...
Note… the 2.4 and 5 ghz has nothing to do with your received signal. When my received signal to the gateway is band 12 (700mhz) all is well. However when I'm getting band 2 (1900mhz) reception is lousy.
The 2.4 and 5 gig is in house use sent to your device by the gateway. 2.4 ghz is good for going through walls, etc when you are far from the gateway. 5ghz is best for when you are in same room as gateway. I use the 5ghz for my tv use and the 2.4 ghz for my other devices. This way Lot are not using the same channel. TV on the 5ghz channel, everything else on the 2.4 channel.
The problem we are all having is due to the received signal that the gateway is using. Band 12 is great for rural use and band 2 is for urban use. Other frequency band work the same. Some for 5G and others for LTE use.
Having problems? check what band you are receiving and its corresponding freq, is it good for where you live? Probably not.
