2,4 Ghz not strong enough after updating
I need to understand that if I want a good working router, I have to pay something more. I was happy with my Archer C60 for a couple of years, with the only problem that my Chromebook was not connecting to it, but all my other devices were running well. Then, a couple of days ago, the 2,4 Ghz signal started to bee very low, so that only devices very close to the router were able to see it. I generally have more than 20 items connected, but only 8/9 were still able to establish a connection.
This is the reason why I bought a brand new Archer C80 that I set up in a few minutes as the previous one, by replacing it. Everything started to run smoothly again, untill I had the bad idea to make the firmware up to date. The original older 1.05 version was replaced by the new 1,10 and after reboot, what a surprise: the signal is now weaker! Again, I cannot see the 2,4 Ghz after a round and a wall, while the older C60 had a strong signal and also the C80 before updating it. What happened? The strange thing is that I can see the 5Ghz net where 2,4 Ghz is completely absent!!
I start thinking that this brand of router is not as reliable as it is supposed to be.
It costs not a lot, but too expensive for me, being able to use it only for a couple of hours!!
