I'm using archer c5 for 11 month now. But the 2.4ghz wifi keeps dropping even when I'm close to the router. Sometimes my phone is unable to connect to the router after 1 minute it connects again. How to fix the issue? And why do this router doesn't get any update. At this price other routers get updates frequently. Gotta say very poor router performance
Make sure your wireless settings for both bands are:
For 5 GHz band you can set Mode to 802.11n/ac mixed.
The other thing you could do is to scan the spectrum with an app like Wi-Fi Analyzer to see the level of wireless interference around you and set a less crowded wireless channel accordingly if needed - https://pixelprivacy.com/resources/best-wi-fi-channel/
The reason you can't find FW updates is that this model is targeted towards ISP operators.
