Problems with new eero 6 5ghz wifi

Hi compatible  devices are connecting at 5ghz channel 155 despite it being  congested and weak signal and quickly drop to unuseable speeds

 

They wont reconnect at 2.4 automatically despite signal being quite reasonable

 

I presume this is related to other issue with this router

 

Please can i have an eero 6 pro if this is expected to resolve

 

Thanks

Thanks for confirming. If this still continues to happen then please let us know and we can send a Wifi Hub 2 to see how this compares instead. Would this be ok?

 

Thanks

Ok i just restarted the eero and its ok on 5ghz now for that galaxy tablet. Just to give you a heads up the router is not that near many of the devices. Very rarely do compatible devices connect at 5ghz historically and im ok with that  But this eero is no playing ball

 

Thx

What's the device Jon? Does it connect on the 2.4 just not the 5ghz?

Hi again

 

Just want to confirm what this fix is please. To remove the 155 channel from 5ghz? 

Is part of the fix that it wont be so fond of connecting on 5ghz when it cant maintain the signal ?

(It is not on that frequency now i note)

Re your offer of a wifi hub 2 i think that prob is where i want to go not least due to plug count (!) but  can i see how the current set up is for next couple of weeks and revert ?

 

Best regards

Hi jon,

 

Apologies, I still haven't heard anymore. Would you like us to send the Wifi Hub 2 instead to replace the eero and DVA set up?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Please can somebody confirm this done and would appreciate knowing what the fix does for reference

 

I note that a couple of days ago at 4am precisely in the am all the 5ghz seems to have changed and also noted flipped to a lower channel and less issues now

 

But today its back at 155 channel

 

I have posted on another channel issues with the digital voice again no calls in or out for a couple of days . Would it be possible to send back the eero and grandstream if you send me an all in one hub 2 with the phone port. Im afraid the eero set up is just not worth the aggro despite promising so much in theory

 

 

Thanks

This is a known bug and requires a fix to be applied to your Eero. I will ask for this to be carried out.
