BadBill_UK Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Not done an update on my problems for awhile because it’s just frustrating. So it seems on latest firmware the LAN issue is better not dropping as frequently which is a step in right direction. But I have noticed the WiFi is dropping devices randomly now. I have WiFi split into to networks set on manual channel settings and all devices have static ip address. I have a ring door bell camera and it’s important it stays connected but keeps dropping off network. It say’s excellent signal and tried different channels and auto mode still same. Also other WiFi devices are loosing connection. I have done a WiFi channel scan on my MacBook to find a channel that is less congested so it’s not that. My R2 and xr700 never had problems with WiFi as I live in a bungalow and most devices are in same room. Router is next to front door where ring camera is hence the excellent signal. So it seems like a software error on router just randomly kicking devices off. Also found I have to reboot router every other day because it seems to slow down the connection speed. After reboot everything is really responsive and works fine but WiFi devices can disconnect at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Have you tried using the another router as an AP? Pretty sure you can use the XR700 for Wi-Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 29 Administrators Share Posted February 29 Could you grab the logs from the router when you notice the disconnect please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBill_UK Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 I have tried disabling WiFi on R3 just after making this post and used my linksys for WiFi and it’s been up solid ever since. So will wait for a firmware update and test again on R3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I see the same issue with WIFI. I can see it disconnect on my Chromebook and work laptop along with random disconnects of my wifi light switch. I had occasional issues with the wifi switch using the R2 but never had problems with the Chromebook and work laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 1 Administrators Share Posted March 1 Grab the logs and that'll help! Also though, extend the DHCP lease time and give a reserved IP to the device and see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatf Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Only way I was able to not get the wifi to suck when I had it was to disable all the bands except for the Wifi 6 band, set channel 128, and make bandwidth 160mhz. The default implementation is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Simple mode to filter instead of the custom drawing filter and it should more consistently get you games within your radius. 1 hour ago, Megatf said: Only way I was able to not get the wifi to suck when I had it was to disable all the bands except for the Wifi 6 band, set channel 128, and make bandwidth 160mhz. The default implementation is atrocious. You don’t need to necessarily use Channel 128, try better ones that are more appropriate for the 5Ghz connection, like 36, 40, 44 or 48. But if that’s the best one for you then stick with it👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After spending 200 bucks I have to periodically check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKNESS Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 @UK_Wildcats_FansShould be 168 hours so turn that into minutes and it 10080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I set the DHCP lease to 10080 minutes (1 week) and then rebooted the R3. I was using my Chromebook (192.168.77.64 reserved IP). The DCHP default range is 100-250. While actively using the Chromebook, I noticed the WIFI drop. After WIFI returned, I captured the log that is attached.
