Wifi constantly dropping

My APs are dropping their broadcasting signal. My phone, Chromecast and security panel keeps dropping wifi. This is happening non stop. I’ve restarted the entire system. This has been going on for 2 days now.

Please help!

You might get better help if you provide some more details.

What firmware are you running?
Did it start after a firmware version?

What are your settings for “always on” and “mesh”?
(If you don’t use , wireless ap ↔ ap links then try without)

Firmware - 2.2i
Started about 4 days ago - not sure when the firmware was released

Always on - active
Mesh - active - using a mesh AP

What are you using as a router? Does it have ICMP enabled on the LAN side?

Im using the Route 10 and I don’t see an ICMP option

The Route10 allows ICMP on the LAN side by default, so unless you created a rule to say otherwise, it should be allowed.

Could I get an invite to the site?

Invite sent - site used is House

Should be better now.

Interesting situation. The meshed AP must use the same 5GHz channel as the upstream AP. Looked like the wired AP picked a good channel, but it wasn’t a good channel on the mesh side; too much interference. Your mesh was legitimately dropping. Different channel now and way better ping results to the gateway. Please let me know if the dropouts continue.

Have you tried to implement the solution Matt explained above? Try configuring the channel for the SSID manually. See here for our article on automatic channel planning.
