Hi Luk,

no, not that one.

Hi rfcat_vk, 

Could you please elaborate the issue , you are facing 

Do you mean could not see any channels in 5GHZ ?

Showing 6Mbits instead of 5GHZ ?

Any reference Service request number or BUG ID i may check upon ?

Thanks and Regards

Hi Aditya,

no bug reference or report, I am a home user. This is not related to the 6mb/s issue.

Initially after the upgrade using the last two XG firmware releases the 5hghz channel is not available until to you disable then re-enable the auto channel time based scanning. After you do this all wifi connections are dropped on both 2.4 and 5ghz.

I am unable to provide access to my XG at this stage, the internet connection is broken again.

Edited, corrected grammar.

HI rfcat_vk, 

Thank you for the info , Let me check and get back to you. 

Thanks and Regards

Hi , 

Seems you have experienced the issue with BUG ID NC-12265  which is related to an issue of SSID stops broadcasting when Time based scan is enabled.  This issue is resolved with version 16 Beta 5 launched last month .  

Please check the version info and let us know if you are still facing the issue . 

Thanks and Regards

I installed 109 when the incident re-occurred. I think I had installed 16 b5 before I went on holidays.

I will check version numbers tonight.

Unable to tell the version number that is in operation, though I am sure it is 109.

latest version of XG installed today and the 5ghz channels came back online after the restart without fiddling with the AP settings.

One bug down.
