Hub 5x issues on firmware 7.8.3-2410.5
Hi, Since my Hub 5x auto-updated to firmware 7.8.3-2410.5 (around 20/08/25), my broadband has become unreliable for online gaming. What’s happening: - Games disconnect after 2–10 minutes, every time. - This happens on multiple devices (Iphone and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra). - General browsing and streaming seem fine, but anything that relies on a stable connection drops out. - Pings sometimes show duplicate replies and big spikes in latency. What I’ve tried: - Disabled Smart WiFi and split 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz into separate networks. - Locked 5 GHz to channel 36–48 at 80 MHz. - Changed DNS to Google and Cloudflare. - Tested MTU (1472 works fine). - Tried keepalive scripts to hold the connection open. - VPN fixes the problem completely (but obviously I shouldn’t need to use one just to play games). This only started after the 7.8.3-2410.5 update. Before that, everything was stable. Can you confirm if this is a known issue with the latest Hub 5x firmware, and if there’s a fix or workaround? It looks like the router is mishandling online gaming traffic. Thanks.123Views1like8Comments
