    AC86U 5G SSID occasionally disappears

    Thanks OzarkEdge. I will try that over the weekend and report the outcome back. @EventPhotoMan. My FW is 3.0.0.4.384_45149, currently the 5G is set at auto (I tried ch40 but didn't work) with channel BW set a 20/40/80 MHz

    AC86U 5G SSID occasionally disappears

    Router Advice Needed

    Been lurking around for years on SMB and finally registered to join the community LOL Need some advice whether I need to buy a new router, or the current setting needs to be fine-tuned. Thanks! Currently using Orbi (1 router 2 satellites) for a 2100 sqft home and guess it's an overkill for...
