SSID disappearing

SSID disappears almost everyday at least once or twice. I've tried renaming the 5GHZ and un-syncing it with the 2.4GHZ, but it's happened again and this time I copied the log.

Noticed immediately that the time stamp on the left showing bizarre behaviour. When I did the copy text, the time was 8:24pm, but looking at the log the time stamp does a jump at 8.20, then on reboot it thinks it's at 1am on 26th April.

Help!

Re: SSID disappearing

Hi @robbox,

 

I'm sorry that the SSID is disappearing and for any inconvenience that this is causing you.

 

It's possible that this is related to the router's firmware. Please can you confirm the router's software version? You'll find this information at the bottom of the page on the router control panel. Please can you also confirm whether you have any Amazon devices connected wirelessly?

Re: SSID disappearing

software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.259.1.1

 

I do have a Fire Stick, but I've had it for some time now and the router issue is more recent. Still it could be the problem. Guess I can disconnect for a few days.

Re: SSID disappearing

Hi @robbox,

 

Thank you for providing the software version - I can confirm that this is the latest one.

 

There have been some compatibility problems with Amazon devices and our newer firmware versions. Please can you try disconnecting your Fire Stick for the next 48 hours and let us know whether the connection settles down? If it does, we can look into moving you onto an older version of the firmware that isn't affected by this issue. If the issue persists when the Fire Stick is disconnected, we'll investigate this further for you.

Re: SSID disappearing

Hi, its the same user here as the OP. Disconnected the Fire stick and I think it cured the problem, can you downgrade the firmware? What do I need to do to make that happen?

Re: SSID disappearing

Thanks @robbox, I've raised this with our products team to see if we can get the firmware on the router changed for you to try and work around this issue.

 

We'll get that pushed out as soon as possible for you.

 

Thanks for your patience.
