I was hoping in the 3 years since I had the Asus GT-AX11000 Router their wifi would have gotten better with the 2ghz network. Sadly it hasn't. Today I spent almost 2 hours trying to get my Smart Door lock working with the BT10. I tried the 2.4 ghz network, the 2.4 IOT network and I even...

So I have a bunch of Sonos Speakers. From what I gather Sonos uses its own 5ghz mesh network when you have rears and a sub connected to a main speaker. For instance I have a Sonos Arc, then 2 Rear Sonos ERA 100's and a sonos Sub Gen 3. On the Device Page it keeps showing the ERA speakers...

So I've been eyeing the Asus BT10 router. Literally everywhere its sold in either a 1 or 2 pack but for some reason Best Buy seems to have a 3 pack which is on sale right now. Price wise the value of the 3 pack is a lot better than the 2 pack. I have a 3 story TH with ethernet ports on each...

Ok so update. After setting all 3 of these items to disabled, and changing the channel back to Auto (knock on wood) no more 2.4 ghz connection drops. Not exactly sure what those 3 items do but obviously they seemed to have been causing an issue.

So I thought after switching the Channel 3 it solved my 2.4 disconnects, but sure enough today, it dropped 2-3 times. Here are my WIFI settings, anything else I can change? I've also moved multiple devices onto the 5ghz so only 15 devices are now on the 2.4ghz network. Any other ideas?

Thanks! I'll mess around with it and see what happens.

Thanks, according to an app I downloaded here is the 2.4ghz wifi in the area. Oddly enough when I selected 3 earlier it said that was a good channel, not its saying 11,12,13 and 14. I also turned off my 5 google home devices today (just to remove a few more devices from the 2.4ghz network) to...

So just taking a quick look at the TP-Link since I don't have the ASUS plugged in: DHCP Address lease Time - 120 Minutes Channel Width is set to Auto (Options are 20/40 if I went manual) Checking the signal strength, I'm showing: my 2.4ghz at -53dbm on Channel 1 (Freq. 2412Mhz (20mhz) and...

The router isn't rebooting, its just the wifi dropping for a minute or two. There isn't any logs on either the ASUS or the TPLINK that show anything regarding the drops sadly. The Arlo Hub is hard wired directly with the Router and is only a couple inches away. Last night I turned Auto off...

Well not sure, The Arlo is designed to use the same channel as your router. You have no control over the Arlo Channel (can't even access any configuration or anything). So really to test it, I'd have to shut down the Camera's for a few days by disconnecting the Arlo Hub. No USB ports are...

Ok so not sure what is going on but I'm now at a loss. I had an ASUS AX11000 Router. Randomly throughout the day almost all my 2.4ghz devices would drop and then reconnect a couple minutes later (have about 22 2.4 ghz clients). After months of testing and beta firmware's from Asus I ended up...

I just upgraded my ASUS router to the 3.0.0.4.386.41700 firmware and it totally broke my 2.4 ghz network. Stuff was randomly dropping and most important my Sonos ARC would no longer connect. Had to revert to the previous version. FYI

Thanks, got it

Trying to turn off the Verizon FIOS DNS Assistance that redirects when you hit an invalid page. The directions say change the last # to 14 on both the Primary and Secondary DNS. On my GT-AX11000 under LAN if I turn off auto DNS both lines are blank. Checking IPCONFIG shows my primary DNS...

Ok new odd issue for me. Just got an Android TV (TCL brand). Its connected to my router and Google Home. If I don't use the TV for about 3 days it loses internet access. The TV is set to network standby and according to TCL it should always keep a wifi connection in the background. But...
