Turn off MFP

I have a baby monitor that is currently dropping with the wifi, making it very unreliable. The baby monitor company has suggested turning off the MFP (Managment Frame Protection) to see if that helps.

 

Can anyone show me where this setting is on the sky router box settings online?

@Skald808  There is no such setting in an ISP supplied hub.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

As @GD1 indicates, that's a feature you'd only find on sophisticated hardware (something like a Cisco business router).  I suspect you need to separate the WiFi bands on the Hub.

So to split the two channels you need to go to your router config page which can be found by typing 192.168.0.1 into your web browser. To access the page, you'll need;

username: admin

password: sky OR your WiFi password

- Select wireless from the navigation bar and scroll down a little and untick the 'Synchronise 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings'

- Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit apply.

- Once the page reloads you need to go to the 5GHz wireless settings page on the sub navigation bar below where you click wireless before

- In the 5GHz section you want to go to the box called 'Name (SSID)' and add something like 5g to the end of the current name

- Scroll down and hit apply

- Then on any wireless device you should now see two networks. One network will be the same name as usual and will be 2.4GHz band and the other will be the usual name with 5G on the end (Or whatever you typed). Connect any 5GHz capable device to the 5GHz network and see if it works correctly. The WiFi password should be the same if you havent changed it.
