Hi,
I installed the Almond 3 about four days ago, and ever since I have been having significant issues with devices staying connected. I am currently using one unit as a router (2nd floor, where the cable modem is), and another as a range extender (1st floor). The firmware was updated on both devices right after setup. On 2.4 gHz I am using channel 11, which has the least interference in my neighborhood. Ever since setting up, I've been experiencing the following:
1. intermittent connection drops on tablets and laptops.
2. I have 4 Nest cams in our house, each of which now drop connection several times per day (I've gotten 63 dropped notifications since installing).
3. Our Nest Protect smoke alarm won't connect to the new router, and it's in the same room.
4. Our Sonos speakers keep dropping connection intermittently (no music, and sometimes can't find the network altogether.
5. Our DirecTV receiver keeps losing connection to the router.
We've tried changing the following, none of which have worked:
1. Tried different WiFi channels (including 1, 6, and 11).
2. Ensured firmware was updated
3. Reset both Almond devices
4. Reset modem, then reconnected Almond
We never had any of these issues at all with our previous router. Any ideas? We're frustrated and out of ideas and about to put our old router back in service.
Thanks in advance!
