Anyone facing wifi issues on the c6?
(As some fellow members may know) I've two archer c6, one as an access point, connected via an ethernet backhaul. Lately, ive been having a few minor wifi problems. Like phones that would always remain in 5ghz in a particular room would now switch to 2.4 ghz. I used the wifi analyser (android app) today, and found.
1. C6 generates a hidden wifi channel, for both 2.4 ghz, and 5 ghz. Its on for about 10-15 seconds, and off for about 10s. wifi mac id is the same as that of the router.
2. Seems this is due to the one mesh feature. This link has more detail Archer C7 v5 is emitting a hidden network - TP-Link SOHO Community
3. Red is my 5ghz wifi, purple is the onemesh scan. Yellow is the onemesh scan of a c6 that has its 5ghz disabled! Even if one disables a 5ghz wifi channel, C6 is still auto scan for onemesh.
wow!
It gets more interesting when i searched the settings for some way to disable onemesh. i found this new setting 'CWMP', and its enabled by default.
More details on the net. (eg Many home routers supplied by ISPs can be compromised en masse, researchers say,
Apparently, it might have been already present and previously enabled.
