Can you please confirm both 5G and wired connection on the A6 are stable?

 

How many devices are connected to the A6 2.4G network? Are they disconnecting at the same time? Will they connect back automatically, what is the error message if they cannot?


You can disable the NAT boost on the web interface (Advanced-System Tools-System Parameters), then monitor again.


The A6 firmware seems not the latest, please check and update its firmware first:

Hi, yes, the 5G connection is working correctly. There are about 3 devices for 5G and 2 for 2GHz. The wifi just stops for the 2GHz.

You may upgrade to the latest firmware on your Archer A6 as mentioned earlier. If that doesn't help, you can install a beta firmware on it, and disable the Onemesh feature on the A6, then monitor again:

Hi Kevin,

I got the same problem with my Archer A6, it's updated with the latest firmware but the 2.4G network still drops me every 5 or 6 hours.
Where can I find this beta version you are talking about?

Regards.
