No. Two Airport Extremes with an Ethernet backhaul. One on first floor, one on second floor. Been setup and working fine for years, and still working fine with other devices.
I hard rebooted my phone downstairs last night. Saw it connected to the router down stairs on the 5 GHz band. Speeds were good. Sat there for a while and eventually it stayed on the downstairs router but switch over to the 2.4 GHz band. Didn’t do anything to the phone and just came upstairs at bedtime. Phone connected to upstairs router on the 2.4 GHz band. Use the phone for a little while while browsing these forms then locked the screen and started using my iPad. Picked up my phone after about 10 minutes and it had found its way back to the 5 GHz band on the upstairs router. Went to bed woke up this morning phone still on the 5 GHz band on the upstairs router.
I still have yet to see the XSM connect above 586 MB/s via the Airport utility. My iPad mini connects around 866 MB/s and stays there.
There may be an issue and an update coming, but for me it might be fixed - I didn't just do a reset through the menu of my access points, I powered the one closest to my desk off and on last night late. My XS Max then stayed on the 5 GHz all night, and still is on it, even walking through the house to all 3 floors! I have run 3 speed tests this morning, and it's getting 540/41 and it has not been kicked to the 2.4 GHz band. So fingers crossed this stay that way!
Was contacted by Apple Support. Installed a profile on my phone to hopefully send them logs.
Curious what routers people are running when this issue occurs?
I am on Google WiFi. MacBook Pro 2018, iPhone 8, and iPad Pro 10.5 do not show the problem, all are solid 5 GHz.
You need to have a different SSID name for 2.4GHz and 5GHZ. Otherwise, the phone will default to 2.4 most of the time, because it can’t see the 5GHZ.
Thanks @netnothing for doing this work on behalf of many of us!!
This worked for me. Went from 37 d/load to my usual 60-65 meg.Reset your network settings.
