Unstable Wifi

[mister hooper]

So randomly (at least on my phone, sometimes on other devices) wifi will just drop. Only fix is to turn off/turn on wifi. Known issue? Any updates/fixes for this?

Is it just Wi-Fi? Are wired devices not having this issue?

What router and firmware version are you currently running?

What are the specific WiFi devices having these issues, are they iOS or Android phone, Windows 10 PCs etc?

4. Tap the gear icon associated with the wireless connection to be configured.

I'd suggest using a Wi-Fi analyser to see which are the least congested frequencies in your area, then change your 2.4GHz settings accordingly in your DumaOS network settings. There's a good Wi-Fi analyser available on the Microsoft store simply named 'Wi-Fi Analyser'.

Do deer have wifi? Because that's the only congestion here.

No-eye deer 🤣experiment with the 20/40 MHz width and see if that improves it at all, also set the WiFi antennae to look like this _ | | _ so two pointing straight up, the other two pointing straight outwards
