Problem: The 2,4GHz network is not working at all. Devices that support only 2,4GHz cannot connect to the router. 5GHz and ethernet connection work perfectly. This is a new router, sent to our home two weeks ago. The 2,4 GHz network only shows up for an hour or two after someone at Vodafone does an update or completely cancels our internet and reinstates it. Our previous router worked fine for more than a year. On a WLAN Radar tab, the chart is completely empty for 2,4GHz. For 5G I can see devices and channels as usual. I assume this is the device problem. We currently have a Vodafone Station, the SSIDs are split with different names and have a password, connection through WPS also does not work for 2,4 GHz network. We cannot move the router as there is only one place in our flat to connect.
What I was trying: Restart, Reset to factory settings, splitting or not splitting the SSID, changing frequencies in any combinations. The reset to factory was done before and after splitting the SSID.
Cannot Call Helpline: We have called the help line dozens of times and everyone says no English. When we finally reached an English speaker we were told he was not allowed to help us with a technical problem in English. I also did a chat via Whatsapp for 2 hours so I could google translate to German but the 2,4 GHz network showed up for less than one hour then disappeared again and the connected devices immidiately stopped working. The individual said to call the helpline. I do not speak enough German to effectivey communicate technical problems. There seems to be no email address or any way to communicate with your company.
Event Log:
No idea if this helps but in the event log there says something about EAPOL_FAILURE, REASON-CODE-DESCR=PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID;REASON-CODE=2, ConnectionState=forcedDisassociatedAuth
with a lot of other codes and such inbetween.
