Hi everyone. Would using a fixed channel bandwidth of 80MHz (for my 5GHz band) instead of the "20/40/80" option make a difference? I've separated my 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands using different SSIDs, and I don't have any devices on the 5GHz band that don't support an 80MHz channel width, although...

Router firmware is version 3.0.0.4.386.44130. The laptop has the latest drivers from the vendor. Installed from HP Support Assistant. And well shoot…now I’m seeing the same WiFi disconnection problem on the Nintendo Switch! Kids just noticed it…

Even if I’m running the router in AC mode only, would there still be a comparability issue? I have the router configured with AX/WiFi 6 mode disabled and all other settings mirroring the way I had my AC86U configured. HP laptop works fine (no issues) with AC86U. I have a total of 8 wireless...

Nope. Running a WiFi analyzer does detect my neighbour’s router (and only his…and mine obviously) but his 5GHz channels are usually always the lower channels. So is that yet another problem with the AX86U?? I think something is trying to tell me to send this thing back and stick with my AC unit...

I have channel selection on auto but the router mostly stays on channel 161 (same as my AC86U did). And when the issue occurs, I’ve confirmed the router is on channel 161. Also, I’m in Canada and I don’t live anywhere close to weather stations or airports. Plus it’s strange that the issue only...

Thanks but I already tried that. Using Continuous Mode vs Aggressive Mode didn’t make a difference. Plus, I don’t think this is a problem with DHCP leases. When the issue occurs, my laptop and Samsung tablet drop all WiFi bars…like they can’t see the wireless signal anymore. Then the bars come...

Hello. I don’t mean to revive an old thread but I’m not sure where else to post this. I just wanted to say that this is still an issue with the AX86U router. I’ve been struggling to find the root cause of the problem and stumbled upon this thread. Approx two weeks ago, I purchased an AX86U...
