Network at 5 GHz stops unexpectedly.
Network at 5 GHz stops unexpectedly.
I received a new Huawei HS8247W router from my service provider. It includes WiFi A/C and 5 GHz features. I have a gaming laptop and a Galaxy S9 that also supports WiFi A/C, so I switched to the 5 GHz network to take full advantage of the 400 Mbps download speed. However, the 5 GHz network would sometimes turn off unexpectedly, while the 2.4 GHz remained active. Over the past couple of days, it has shut down about three to four times. I checked the router settings and adjusted the channel bandwidth to 160 MHz, which is the maximum setting. Despite that, both my laptop and phone worked fine. Could this be the cause of the intermittent shutdowns? Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.
It's set to a specific channel. Have you attempted to adjust it? It might clash with nearby devices, and wider channel widths increase this risk.
The connection drops after about ten minutes, even if it's just a few seconds.
I understand what you're seeing. It seems to work only on the Litebeam model and with outdoor channels available. There appears to be no dedicated non-DFS channel, which might explain the waiting behavior. Frustratingly, it doesn't consistently connect, especially when adjusting the wireless settings.
