It is definitely a WiFi6 problem, and in particular with more recent WiFi6 equipment. The only durable solution is to bind these elderly 2.4 Ghz clients to an early WiFi6-capable router, or to an AC or older standard AP or range extender. Or ... disable WiFi6 support. I like WiFi6. So for the couple wireless SB clients we have, we just bind them to the router (a very early production AX88U that can handle them). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115982 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
