Thanks for the information Donut417. With my location - made in the UK - I will have to have a modem router so a 2 in 1. so i will have to do some research about business modem routers.

The devices that are on the 2.4ghz signal atm can only support the 2.4 and cannot be split between the 5ghz. I do know that each band wave no matter what the ghz output so 2.4 or 5. they will take a maximum of 32 devices. I'm assuming though that because so much is used and its close to maxing out are the current devices fighting against eachother for the signal. If this is the case will a MIMO router help. this will distribute the signal alot better but I think the mimo only affects 5ghz and not 2.4ghz signla but not totally sure.

Yh I made sure it was up to date. And it has the latest firmware on it.

Hi to those who take the time out of your busy day to read my problem. I will begin with letting you know that I am abit of a "smart home geek". I own multiple devices that automate my home. Now the problem is that i currently have a Netgear D7000 router which is Dual Band. and although the 5ghz signal works fine. The 2.4ghz seems to encounter "authentication error" and drops out altogether. This can be fixed short term by soft resetting the router (turning it off and on again). but this fix only works for 3 hours approximately. So I need some advice. With me currently having 23 devices all connected to the 2.4ghz (most of them are only compatible with 2.4) is the router dropping connection due to it being overloaded?? If so will upgrading the router to a Tri-band be better or will a Wifi Mesh network system work better (e.g. Google wifi).?? Thanks in advance. Dan
