Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.5

has anyone experienced the 6GHz band dropping constantly or just not showing up at all? 90% of the time it isnt even listed when searching for SSIDs and when it is it constantly drops. there is a feature within the Tether app that lets you see what its doing and there too it shows it just constantly cycling on/off.

Hello @0m3n ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Here are some suggestions that may help you improve the 6GHz connection:

  • First, please place your router in an open area, not inside a cabinet or shelf, to reduce interference and improve signal quality.
  • In the router's web interface, go to Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings. Try different Wi-Fi channels to avoid interference from nearby networks.
  • For the 6GHz band, ensure your client devices support it and that the channel width is set appropriately (for 6GHz, you can use 160MHz or 320MHz, if supported).
  • Make sure your devices are not restricted by any Parental Control profiles.
  • Update the network adapter drivers, system, or firmware on your client devices (such as PCs, phones, or smart devices) to the latest versions.

 

May I know which clients support 6Ghz that you are using now? Have you used them to test other 6GHz bands? Are they able to reliably detect 6GHz?
