[SOLVED] 5 GHz Wi-Fi temporarily disabled for several minutes after firmware update 5.0.4 on Hopper DSL

[simone bravo]

Hello,
I have a Hopper DSL modem router purchased in December. I configured two Wi-Fi networks: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

Today, when I logged into the dashboard, I saw that the new firmware version 5.0.4 was available, so I started the update. The update completed successfully.

After the reboot, however, I noticed something (I’m not sure if this was the case before with firmware 4.x, so it may have been normal): the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi turns on immediately, while the 5 GHz network remains disabled for several minutes (about 11 minutes), showing the message “Wi-Fi temporarily disabled.” After that time, it finally turns on.

Is this normal behavior, or could I have some incorrect setting?

Hello @simone bravo,

this is the expected behavior. Your device checks for radars that may be working on frequencies overlapping with the 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
