Yep, thanks. I've split the AP into 2.4 and 5 GHz because a lot of devices will tell you that outright tell you that(it's ridiculous that they don't put 5 GHz radios in them instead of leaving it up to the consumer. My $2500 LG OLED TV from 2018 has a 10/100 NIC on it, they couldn't even be bothered to put a 1g NIC in it!)
Still didn't help. I'm using Unifiy APs and it's something about them the devices hate ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I literally just had a conversation with an IT friend who knows more networking than me (I'm more of a generalist), and he basically told me that Wifi is basically impossible to make as bulletproof as wired. I got so fed up with wifi periodically just crapping out.
I'm like, "so... It's like printers all over again? Nobody can make one that just is bulletproof? "
He's like... "Well, nothings as bad as printers, let's not go crazy here. But yeah, you can't make wireless as reliable as wired."
Absolutely, you can't shield a wireless connection from interference like you can with a wired connection, that's why I prefer to use them, but everything wants to be WiFi only now!
