2.4ghz band not visible

Message 7 of 7

The 2.4ghz network on my router keeps stopping and my speed then drops by about half. I have logged in to the router and it looks to be up but it is not visible to any of my devices. Which means we cannot extend the range to the end of the garden using a  TPlink. This was working fine up until recently. This happens at least once a week.

It’s a Sagemcom Router.

Hi @Jolenematthew88 

 

I've switched the WIFI optimisation off on your line, please let us know how the connection compares.

 

Thanks @KeithFrench

Hi @Jolenematthew88 

 

Slow speed, intermittent dropouts, breaks in the signal or no signal on some or all devices or no internet access 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 byproduct 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.

Have you had TalkTalk’s Wi-Fi optimisation disabled on your Sagemcom FAST5364/5464 router? When this is enabled, as it is by default, it has the power to override any Wi-Fi configuration changes that I might suggest that you need to make. This will not help rectify this type of problem if Wi-Fi Optimisation is allowed to change my suggested settings. Only TalkTalk can do this for you, you cannot do it yourself. If not, just request they disable this for you in your reply.

In other words, I try to help you optimise your Wi-Fi connection. The next stage involves sending out a guide to you to help you get me some important diagnostic results so that I can analyse them for you and recommend changes to your router configuration to solve them.

I only send this out to people who request it.
