Gateway by itself resets SSID
My XB8 gateway has 3 SSIDs:
- myname2G (2.4GHz)
- myname (5GHz)
- myname6G (6GHz)
With my laptop and phone I normally connect to the myname 5GHz SSID. Note this is the only SSID that is auto-connect.
Today I couldn't connect to WiFi with either my laptop or phone. The only SSID available was myname2G. I was able to connect to myname2G.
With my computer browser I connected to 10.0.0.1. There it said all three bands had the same myname2G SSID.
I then used the xFi app. It said I still had the original 3 SSIDs. I told it to update my data. Checking my browser again at 10.0.0.1 the gateway now said it had 3 SSIDs.
With my laptop I connected to myname (5GHz). Unfortunately, ten minutes later my wifi became disconnected. I confirmed that my gateway by itself had gone back to only using the 1 SSID myname2G for all bands.
I again used the xFi app and again told it to update my gateway. I again confirmed at 10.0.0.1 that the gateway again had 3 SSIDs. The WiFi settings have not changed since.
Note during the whole time the xFi app always thought I had 3 SSIDs. The problem was the gateway by itself was changing its settings to only use 1 SSID.
Can anyone explain this? Does the XB8 have bugs?
