30 seconds to connect new clients to internet
When a new client connects to my Sagemcom 5688W gateway (i.e. to the wifi SSID broadcast by the gateway), it takes up to 30 seconds for the client to connect to the internet. During this ~30 second ...
@copz1998 thanks for the suggestion. I tried changing the frequency band of the existing SSID to only 5ghz, creating two separate SSIDs with different frequencies (one for 2.4, one for 5), and resetting my gateway to factory default, and nothing fixed this problem (nor did replacing the gateway entirely). I tried connecting a different router to my Sagemcom 5688W gateway (TP-Link Wifi 6 AX1500), and when clients connect to SSID's broadcast by my TP-Link router they no experience the 30 second delay. There must be a bug in the Sagemcom 5688W gateway that causes this long delay for new clients, but it's impossible for me to tell since it's essentially just a black box and I have zero visibility into even basic settings/logs for things like DHCP, NAT, DNS, etc. I will just use the TP-Link router, but it's a shame that I had to buy something that the Sagemcom 5688W gateway should have no problems doing.
I appreciate your reply, @copz1998! Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
