I just brought a Asus RT-N53 dual band router. I'm not super techy, so please bear with me. All help is highly appreciated. I tried calling Asus and just got put on hold, then sent to voicemail.
I set it up and it seemed to be fine streaming video, but after 5 minutes the 5ghz band froze and lost internet. The 2.4 was still working though. I restarted the router and the 5ghz worked again, then 5 minutes later it disappeared again the 2.4ghz is working.
I'm using a mid-2012 macbook pro
also using airplay to appletv 4th gen (ethernet to router)
I do have a att microcell via ethernet to the router that may be effecting things?
for the 5ghz settings:
I've tried auto and N only mode (choice are N or A or Auto)
Channel is on auto (cause I don't know what is best)
Everything is within 3 feet of each other.
So after reading further and discovering the "wireless diagnostics" built into osx, I found that there are only 2 other other 5ghz networks nearby and now I'm certain I'm on a different channel than those.
