Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted Sunday at 09:03 PM Administrators Share Posted Sunday at 09:03 PM Okay that's good on both counts then. However, if it did happen recently then it's likely the auto update of the firmware that did it and going down a version, then disabling auto update on the firmware page may help. That suggests to me that devices aren't liking the higher frequency AX WiFi is providing, however, disabling AX changes the default 5GHz WiFi mode to 4330Mbps so still really high and higher than the options you had to downgrade to previously which could explain it. How many devices do you have using WiFi at any one time generally? I know you said you had 1 device connected and it was still a problem but just want to get the whole picture. Is Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence enabled or disabled in Advanced WiFi settings? What channel do you have 5GHz set to exactly? Can't quite tell from the screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't quite tell from the screenshot 5ghz was on 44, I switched it to 40 which didn't help. 20/40mhz was disabled but that didn't matter being on. and turning off AC made 5ghz unusable with my Nintendo Switch 2 for some reason. I legit caved. I went and bought a new Asus router which hurt me (financially) but it is what it is. I'm going to repurpose my XR1000 as a bridge for my smart devices. if that's possible anyway.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted Sunday at 10:59 PM Administrators Share Posted Sunday at 10:59 PM Try channel 100 and see if that helps at all. Sorry to hear that, you can set it in AP mode but you will lose all the features in that setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that, you can set it in AP mode but you will lose all the features in that setup Yeah so this new router solved everything more or less. My download is still lower than my upload but I've taken that up with my ISP. My wired download has doubled compared to the XR1000. It's either bad firmware or bad hardware, but plenty of others have no issue on 1.0.0.74. I'm going to go with a defective unit. It's long past warranty so it is what it is. If I can reuse it as a repeater I will. Wifi bulbs need almost no speed to work. I appreciate you and the other admin trying to help and I apologize for giving you trouble. It's been absolutely frustrating of a week with this router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
