2.4GHZ DEVICES KEEP DISCONNECTING

Hi, I have a couple of devices connected to my router that need 2.4Ghz and can’t use 5Ghz. These devices keep disconnecting from the router and won’t reconnect? Do I need a new router? Can I purchase a generic one to connect to TalkTalk?

Slow speed, intermittent dropouts, breaks in the signal, or no signal on some or all devices, might be caused by Wi-Fi interference from other local networks, which can also lead to a permanent reduction in speed. No ISP can be responsible for your local environment, this is mainly a by-product of the popularity of Wi-Fi.

Generally speaking, the 2.4GHz band suffers much more from interference than the 5GHz band, but the 2.4GHz one can sometimes have a better range, but this all depends on your local area.

If you would like me to help you, please can you specify the make/model of TalkTalk router that you are using?

From the 29th of March our TalkTalk Community will move to peer-to-peer support and the TalkTalk team will no longer be here to support with queries. Don’t worry we still have plenty of ways to reach out if you need to speak to TalkTalk directly. For more details check out the link here How to contact TalkTalk Broadband - TalkTalk Help & Support

Hi akhilsete

 

I'm sorry to hear this.

 

Please can you update your Community Profile to include your name and TalkTalk landline number, we can then look into this further.

 

Thanks

 

Debbie
