Re: Authentication error

@Craigpitt   Welcome to the forum.

Try separating the 2.4 and 5GHz bands see https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/2-4ghz-and-or-5ghz-best-practice/m-p/1351966#M840

Try each band and use the best.

Hi @Craigpitt,

 

I'm sorry to hear that your phones are losing connection to the WiFi. Please try separating the wireless bands by following the instructions on the link @Baldrick1 has posted. Please let us know if this doesn't resolve the problem.
