OK so I recently upgraded from an ASUS RT-66U to an ASUS RT-3200 to try to fix these issues but no luck...
I'm basically completely on default settings. aside from setting a name and wifi password for my router. I did try turning off Airtime Fairness at one point on the recommendation of a forum but it hasn't helped.
Here's the problem...
Mostly everything works... The desktop that's ethernet wired to the router... Our two smartphones, one tablet, one Roku, two Chromecasts, 2 laptops, 6 or 7 video game systems, 3 security cameras, desktop with wifi upstairs... And anything else I'm not thinking of.
And sometimes some stuff just doesn't. Here are some examples of "not working"
- Downstairs Chromecast (about 10 feet away from router but in the next room over) completely disconnects from the Wifi network for 5 minutes or so then starts working perfectly. The whole time the upstairs Chromecast still shows up and works fine!
- Videogame systems (next to Chromecast) can't find Wifi at all on one day, are automatically connected the next day.
- Android phone (anywhere in the house) can get email, but can't load Facebook comments (like SOME internet works some doesn't)
- Smartphones all work perfectly but videogames/chromecast/roku can't get internet.
As you can see it's all intermittent, and it's never NO Wifi at all... It's some devices can get wifi and some can't OR some devices get limited internet Wifi.
Any ideas what's going on here? Any specific options I can try changing in all those millions of options in the router control panel?
