Eero 6- 5Ghz not working on any device

Hi All,

 

I have had Fibre 150 since May 2023, with no issues. However the past two weeks all my devices especially work laptop and phone cannot connect to the wifi. TalkTalk sent a new Eero 6 to see if that would fix the problem however the issue still persists. The only way I can connect to any wifi is by manually pausing 5ghz and switching to 2.4ghz on the eero app which it only allows you to do at 10mins at a time.

I have read previous threads about the Eero's 5ghz channels being too high, but this is a problem thats has only just happen after working for 10 months fine.

is there any solution to this?

Hi Michelle,

 

It has been perfect over the week however this morning my devices have been dropping connection again, I have checked my radio analytics and it has reverted back to channel 155. Is this not a permanent fix?

 

Thanks

Morning Claudia,

 

Apologies, the devices manager has confirmed that it has been escalated and I'm just waiting for the fix to be applied. I'm hoping that I'll know more today at some point.

Hi Michelle,

 

My radio analytics is still showing channel 155 but the control channel is now 149, but internet is still struggling on my main devices.

There is a known problem where the Eero does not stop working on its 5GHz band, but it starts using a channel that is not supported on the majority of devices. Please can you check in the Eero app under Radio Analytics and tell me what channel it is using in the 5GHz band?
