I have two routers in the same network with different SSIDs and when I change a wireless device from Router 1 to Router 2, the connection is okay, but when I change its WiFi back to Router 1 from Router 2, the connection becomes very slow:

  • Router 1: 192.168.0.1 [MTU: 1492]
  • Router 2: 192.168.0.2 [MTU: 1492] is connected via ethernet to the LAN port
    • DHCP Server is off
    • Same result occurs whether DNS server is set to Auto or manually set

Do you know what might be happening?

  • What's the reason to change from 1st to 2nd and back? Where are you physically in relation to both when changing?

  • What is the need to change routers back and forth. Run TCP/IP reset each time. Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. netsh int ip reset and see if that helps

  • It's not the routers, it's the wifi connection. The reason to change it's because I get far from one router and the laptop connects to the nearest one

  • I've already reserved a specific IP for the MAC of the laptop in both routers but the issue continues

  • @CAS Are the WiFi radio channels on the routers set to Auto or a physical channel? The most likely scenario is when switching back to Router 1's WiFi network, the device is getting a poor channel assigned to it's connection. If the channels are set to Auto, change to: 2.4GHz: 1, 6, or 11 | 5GHz: Highest DFS channel available, else highest available channel (157 works well in the US), unless using a 160MHz bandwidth, in which case there are only two DFS channels available. Auto should never be used.

The router was send to warranty. There was an issue and it was replaced by a new one. Thank you for your comments
