I have had considerable issues with my ARRIS G36 Surfboard. The latest issue with the device dropping the 5GHz transmitter, is super frustrating and requires a reboot to resolve.  I submitted a topic on this (see attached) but no response from ARRIS (CommScope).  I wish this was my only issue, unfortunately, it’s not. 

 

 

You have to go through support.

We understand that you are unable to connect 5GHz as it keeps on disappearing only after rebooting the G36 it will stay connected again . 

Lets try with possible options now :

  • In general if there is a firmware update  done recently  there are possibilities  for the 5GHz to get disappearing  hence check with your ISP if any firmware been update by them recently .
  • Lets try changing the Wi-Fi channels please follow the link below:

  • Then select the Automatic Option on the above provided link and then select DCS Scan Interval and save the time Interval for 8 hours.
