my router (technicolor provides by ISP) died the other day and I hooked up my spare router (zyxel) for time been till I got a new router. both routers have the same SSID and password so all the devices connected straight away and im able to browse online no problems. now both routers are about 1-2 years old.
I have just gone and bought a new router (netgear) and configured the router with the same SSID and password so, I don’t need to update my devices. With my new router, I found a handful of my devices worked and some said incorrect password. I “forgot the network name” and re-entered the password and got the same issues with connection. I then found my device’s that were connected are starting to drop the connection. I have changed the channels on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. This made no difference at all. I thought it was a faulty router so replaced it.
Got the new router configured, updated the SSID and password to my own SSIS and pass, and the same issue are occurring. Again, updated my devices password and channels on the router and still same issues.
Got a different brand router now as suspect the netgear was the problem but still same issues.
Even on the default SSID the router has on the sticker I’m having the same problems. So i suspect I’m having wifi interference.
I have now plugged in my spare router (zyxel) and this is work fine, all my devices are connected to my own SSID and I’m having no drop outs. So now I’m not thinking wifi interference.
Anyone have any ideas on where to start and resolve. My router I have now will not run at the full speeds my ISP is providing which is why I’m looking for a new router, but I’m not able to get the new routers to have a stable SSID, after updating router and devices
