Re: 2.4 Ghz Signal Keeps Dropping
Tony C wrote: I separated the 2.4 and 5 networks from day one using TM'stutorial and GUI 192.168.12.1. I have numerous smart switches, Wyze cameras, and Alexa echo devices all running on 2.4. 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 switchfrom band n41 to n71. When this happensthe 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.3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 2.4 Ghz Signal Keeps Dropping

I read in this forum about some people thinking that it was disconnecting when it switched between 4G and 5G so I got the idea to separate the connections on 192.168.1.1. I did that and then connected to the 5G connection only on my phone and tv. That was 24 hours ago and I have not had a disconnect yet. After 3 in 12 hours yesterday, I'm feeling optimistic so just wondering if anyone else has had any luck doing it this way. please explain how you "separated the connections" Go to 192.168.1.1, scroll down to WiFi networks. Login. Manage WiFi networks. Switch from combined to separate. Separate does two separate networks for 2.4 and 5. Then when you connect on your device, you select which one to connect to. Sorry, left out a number 192.168.12.15Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 2.4 Ghz Signal Keeps Dropping
