2.4 Ghz Signal Keeps Dropping
The 2.4 GhZ wifi signal on my LTE router keeps dropping for no reason. Only way to get it back is to restart the router. Happens almost every day. The 5 Ghz works fine. Any fixes?

Around 30 devices total. My 2.4 network is of course slower than my 5 network, but fast enough and often fails less. My problem is random download speed reductions that necessitate a trashcan reset when it decides to switch from band n41 to n71. When this happens the devices on the 5 network error message,buffer, etc while the 2.4 network devices usually hang in there. If your 2.4 and 5 network are combined (as your trashcan was delivered), separate them. I'm not buying the "max 10 devices story".
I'm not sure if mine has switched from n41 to n71, but I have had zero connection issues/resets since separating so I really think that's the best solution. I have 10 cameras, tv, Roku, and a satellite receiver all on 2.4 and my laptop and 2 cell phones on 5. Now if I could just figure out how to get Hulu live tv to work on t mobile, I'd be set.
