RE500X dropping connection frequently following latest firmware update?
Upgraded firmware a few days ago to latest available version. 5 GHz connectivity is unstable and disconnects multiple times every hour.
Previous firmware was relatively stable without this issue. Any ideas on whether this is a known issue?
One note, in System Tools => Time Settings, there is currently no option to sync time via internet or with PC, and also although my TP-Link router has synced time properly with GMT-5 Eastern/US selected, I have had to select (GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada) on the extender to set the current time, otherwise it appears one hour prior. Could time sync be a factor? Have just adjusted time zone, will see if things stabilize.
@DaanishG yeah, Google Gemini compiled a list of stuff to try, so I changed settings on my router for 5 GHz to make the Channel Width narrower, just 20 MHz instead of I think 20/40/60 MHz.
I also tried changing the Channel value from Auto to specifically 40, per recommendation for one of the lower ones around that value.
I didn't change any settings on the RE500X itself, just the router. So far, I've seen the 5 GHz network go down only once in a whole day, vs multiple times per hour, so this seems like it may've helped. Good luck!
