So still in limbo on this. Multiple communications back and forth but no resolution yet.
Another 300r gremlin that I'm wondering if anyone has experienced. My original now broken 300r had no problem identifying and connecting to my 2G and 5g wireless networks. I have another 300r and it only sees my 2g but sees a bunch of other wireless networks in the neighbourhood including 5g networks, but it only intermittently see my 5g in the next room and then doesn't stay connected. Thoughts? Suggestions? I've gone into the Advance wireless setting and selected 5g only to try and force it but no luck. My iPhone sees all networks sitting right next to the 300r. Anyone think it could be the wireless antenna?
Hmmm, not sure. I assume all the software is up to date on it? I admit though that most of my portable hardware is happier running off my 2Ghz Wifi rather than the other flavour. The 5GHz connection is only really helpful when I'm streaming something internally. The signal level is about 25% less vs 2Ghz and with the stone walls in my house, the slower connection is just more stable.
Have you gone into your router settings and quickly looked at what's currently connected? Maybe something else on your home wifi is interfering with it. Is your old 300R still connected? Bit of a wild guess but it could be the old and new are sharing the same connection settings, therefore conflicting with one another and that's why it won't work.
Apart from that, I'm not sure. I have a Aorus laptop, and the original wifi card was a right pain. Simply refused to connect to 5GHz or remain stable, only when I changed it out with the latest card did it work 100% reliably. Different situation but I understand your problem.
