Ok, whatever I did with the "professional" settings (mostly disabled anything that said Wifi7 in the name) tab for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band seemed to have stabilized the situation.
I can now run my IoT network on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band - it's only been an hour or so, but my devices seem to be...
I only bought a wifi7 mesh to be future proof, I couldn't care less right now if Wifi7 works, I just want the old basics to work, I can wait for the rest. I don't plan on updating my wifi setup every 6 months.
I get that... but I feel that would be more like step 2... I haven't looked at optimizing anything yet...
I have still to find basic functionality to even work... I don't think that it is fair to expect a consumer to have to hire pros to get into that level of assessment just to get the basic...
Well that was exactly my intent as well.. I work from home, I need stability, but I haven't gotten it. I am pretty handy when it comes to network management... I just don't know the intricacies of wifi protocols and such... But again I don't believe that I am trying anything crazy here... Almost...
Well, I appreciate your feedback. But until this very setup, I have 100% of the time been managing to setup my own wifi network and network in general. I have been doing this since wifi was a thing... (I am 44). Granted, I know nothing about those advanced settings... but I know enough not to...
Ok, kept playing around with the 2.4Ghz Professional settings, - honestly went with my gut feeling and summary google search - I disabled anything that had Wifi7 in it and tried to put somewhat conservative settings (whatever that means) and landed on this:
To my surprise, it seems that now...
Even with a single main network with only 2.4Ghz band enabled and nothing else (no secondary network, no wifi7 no mlo - nothing) seems to be too much to ask... Neither my MacStudio or Iphone can manage to stay connect to it... it cycles and roams, but nothing...
Could we maybe start there ? If...
Yeah, I am experiencing the same usual stuff with 2.4Ghz... basically almost impossible to connect to it (when the network only has 2.4Ghz band enabled).. 9 times out of 10 it won't even connect (MacStudio or iPhone) and when it does it will disconnect relatively rapidly:
I don't know if any...
Hey folks,
Sorry I was away a couple of days... man that's a lot of messages :)
@raven-au no worries on the high jacking :)
There is a lot of what you are guys are saying that is kinda flying over my head here...
I didn't not find any smart connect settings anywhere in advanced and/or...
Hi Jzchen,
Yep, currently I have Wifi7 mode enabled for the Main network - I do think because disabling it makes it worse.
But even tough it's wifi 7, it's still allowing me to select WAP2/WAP3-personal as the auth option - maybe that's a UI bug and it's really in WAP3 - which would explain why...
Hi there,
I had been posting my troubles on Reddit and someone suggested that I join this forum because you guys are the best at solving those type of issues :)
I have a lot to say, sorry if I sound frustrated, but I will try to keep it concise - somewhat !
Exec summary: I tried everything...
