no definitely not hardware
its their cloud service- i didnt do anything the last time this happens
have to wait a few weeks then it will be ok again

i only got 2 basic sonoff and 3 smart plugs
not worth the trouble to do anything. they still can work, just dont like to see it flashing on and off thats all

Most router, for 5ghz only able to perform on the same floor. Different floor something can get signal but surely will be slower than 2.4ghz.

For my small home, it is useless for 5g. 2.4g stream pretty fast enough.

All others device that require high speed is wired.

I see the TP Link AC1200 does not look like that Maxis version

There was one guy asking how to get to Advance menu to set Port Forwading. I don't know if Maxis hide the tab, but looks like your has no problem

I don't think there is significant signal drop with 5GHz. My phone is set to connect on 5GHz and leave the 2.4GHz for anything else. I check the signal lever is either very good or excellent at all extreme corners downstairs and upstairs of my house. My router is not far beside my TV downstairs in hall

mesh wifi - gets you full speed everywhere with no reduction

sorry if this is out of topic, noticed that since most of my devices connect to the same 2.4 channel, seems like some devices will lag when gaming.

Any potential solution? (other than replacing my router) as I still have bunch of devices to be connected to.

what router are you using?
and how many devices connected to that router?

Online gaming? It takes a lot of bandwidth I believe. Some router can set priority on gaming packets.

The devices are on local LAN control. So, I think no other option than to have dual band router, that is if your PC support the 5 GHz. Then you will have separate band for gaming and your devices.

If you do not want to buy new router, then has to wire your PC through LAN. If you are thinking of powerline solution, you might as well buy new modem instead

It is easy setup port forwarding. All the menu is at the left. But limited to 16 port fow.

I took my ipad top floor toilet shit and it get a weak signal till cannot stream. Toilet from the router is about 4-5m.

I put the router in the store.

Got inside the router this mode ?

The current setup it more than enough. No issue with speed. Sonoff and dafang work fine. ipad/iphone work fine.

All AV is wired for top speed.

Run on LAN and port fow.

No, need new mesh WiFi equipment 😅

oh. mean place many device around the house to relay.

Don't want this system. Too many radiation cook my brain.

I guess the store placing might have caused a destructive resonance effect to incident wave due to physical nature of your store space, I guess. The signal from my router in hall to bedroom upstairs separated by concrete floor is still excellent on 5GHz

The 2.4GHz that cooks the brain. That is why 2.4GHz is used for microwave

Ya ya sakit mata wooo

Ok finally I managed to update firmware. Looks ok now - need to monitor

TP Link (given by Unifi), devices total is 12 now.
1 iphone, 1 laptop, 1 tv, 1 raspberry PI, 1 google home, 1 chromecast, 1 xiaomi hub, 4 wifi lights, 1 ipad etc...
Only lagging when playing ipad games -.-

Is only ipad game, which is why i'm curious why such issue, wifi speed can go up to 300mbps though.
Powerline doesn't work for ipad.
