How to solve 5ghz unstable

[noteiii007]

I keep getting unstable messages on 5ghz Asus router. I assume this is a bug?

Do you get this when you are right in front of the router?

I've been using 5ghz on my Netgear router for over a week and it's been rock solid, no matter where I go in the house.

I have a dual band router and I had to call Rogers internet not cellular to reset and change sone settings on the back end of the system. Over 2 weeks no more problems

My Netgear 5ghz AC is very stable and crazy fast.

What router are you using? I can provide a little info if you're using an Asus AC66U.

Change channel to 36 or 44 (Samsung bug that goes back to the S4), don't use spaces or underscores in the SSID name, and disable explicit forcebeaming under the professional tab. It's only been a little over 24 hours, but I haven't experienced any problems since.

PS - I've done a lot of searching in regards to the Note 3 & S4 in conjunction with Asus routers via smallnetbuilder and other sites.


Edit - Btw, I forget because I've now changed it, but wasn't the original name for the AC66U (AC68U in your case) 5G network Asus_5g?? Assuming that's what it comes with stock and I didn't make that the SSID name, using underscores is a BIG no no for an SSID and I believe this might have been a big part of the problem.

I have a netgear dual band router N900 and it sucks with the Note 3, not sure if there is a fix

Are you using 2.4ghz or 5ghz? I would honestly never use 5ghz on an N router due to throughput limitations, latency potential, etc. AC is similar in a sense, but it's like having N times three for throughput potential.

5g is what I'm using

Try 2.4 imo. It'll show a slower throughout, but it'll be more stable and consistent.
