Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2021 Spectrum activation is not something the router would do, you need to contact the ISP as they would know what is happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets keep it in the topic as the community can help and when I am not available another colleague can help. DNS Override I doubt would cause it but you can set it back to the default to use the upstream DNS and see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, on your iPhone go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Click the (i) icon next to the NetdumaR2 network and disable private addresses. See if the issue continues after this.

Also experiment with the width if needed. Ensure there are no wireless/electrical devices within 3 feet as these can interfere with the 2.4GHz signal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
