Wifi 5g ok but 2.4g not connecting

2021-06-04 21:24:38

Model: Archer A6

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

My 5g works fine but recently I started to have a hard time connecting to 2.4g. Some devices are still connected to it because I have several smart home devices. But I can't switch to it from 5g on my phone and connect a new device to it.

I've hard reset it and restarted the modem and the router many times. Worked once but no consistency.

@Yang5253

There are limits to the number of devices you can connect per band. Some routers limits it to 32 devices or even 16. Could you have more than 32 already on the 2.4Ghz band? Other reason might be the 'saved' info about the 2.4Ghz band. Try forgetting the SSID and setting it up new. Might help.
