So every couple of days (sometimes twice a day, no real pattern?) the 2.4band on my router craps out. Any devices connected to the 5.0 band work perfectly fine but those on the 2.4 slow down to a crawl. There are many devices that use both bands and I am not sure what is causing this.
I have read that this is interference from other devices on the 2.4band but am not sure what other devices these are. The router isn't near a microwave or phone or anything.
One solution is to manually unplug it and plug it back in. This is annoying. Is there a software solution? Something that detects if the problem is happening and tells the router to reboot?
