Hi SNB Forums,
This is my first thread here. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this community!
Problem: I'm trying to determine if the Wi-Fi circuitry in my wired+wireless router is going bad. In the last couple months I've had increasing incidents of experiencing internet connectivity loss and seeing "Connected, no internet" in the Wi-Fi detail of my Android phone. The normal state should be just "Connected".
What I've tried: Sitting next to the router, and using the Android app "Wifi Analyzer", if set the "Scan Interval" to L2 (the default), and then view the Signal Meter, it pegs the meter at -40dBm and stays there as expected.
But if I set the scan interval to L0 (ie. the lowest setting), the meter stays at -40 for a couple seconds, then bounces around the full meter all over the place, then hits 0 (zero) and stays there maybe a second or two, then bounces around some more, then maybe hits -40 and stays there a couple seconds, and this scenario just continues to repeat forever.
I'm thinking that the bouncing around that I'm seeing at the L0 settings might just be a limitation of the phone (Moto G4+), and/or the app. Then again, the phone and the app might be working perfectly, and I'm seeing continuous intermittent failure of the router's Wi-Fi circuitry.
I will greatly appreciate your thoughts, comments, corrections and suggestions.
