“5 GHz only” back on for no reason

[hgb]

Hi,
Overall very happy of the WiFi connectivity of my new WiiM Amp Pro (where the regular WiiM Amp was simply not useable in my crowded environment).
Noticed that in network settings the “5 GHz only” toggle goes back on regularly for no reason.
Has anyone also experienced that? Not major but probably something that can be fixed in an update?
Many thanks

I have the same problem. I think the Amp Pro restarts from time to time. Because then my current playlist is gone and 5Ghz is activated again.

seems like a minor but tangible issue. Have you opened a ticket re that already?

I got the FW up update form my Ultra this morning. Upon checking the '5Hz only' setting I saw that it was switched back ON. I had previously disabled it.
This is really not nice and I consider this a major intrusion into my setup.
I have opened a ticket.

I am planning to create a new setup with two WiiM Sound lites. 5GHz is very weak to not available in this place, but 2.4 GHz is going strong and is absolutely sufficient. With the current behaviour of WiiM devices switching '5GHz only' back on by themselves this will make the new setup practically useless.

Fully agree it is a flaw that is a hurdle in several set-ups. Many thanks for having opened a ticket and keep us posted. Would be great it is fixed

I did a bit more testing.

Scenario 1

• '5 GHz only' set to OFF but WiiM still on 5GHz
• Then disabled the 5GHz band in the router --> WiiM looses connection. It may come back on 2.4GHz by itself or it may not, I have seen both.
• Reboot the WiiM. It comes back on 2.4 GHz and the '5GHz only' is still OFF.

So that's semi-ok. It should automatically switch over to 2.4GHz when the 5GHz connection is lost.

Scenario 2

• '5 GHz only' set to OFF but WiiM still on 5GHz
• Reboot the WiiM. It comes back on 5GHz. The '5GHz only' is now ON.

That's not ok.
