“Has anyone had any issues where the 2.4Ghz networks says it's broadcasting but no device is able to pick it up? I've had this router for about two months now and it's done this to me 4 times. The first time it didn't go away until I factory reset it.”

never had that problem, sorry. I've had mine for about 6 months with no issues at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It just started doing those to me with the 5ghz. Piece of junk!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes - I've had this problem as well (twice). It's happened after I've been making adjustments to other settings. In both cases I had to do factory reset to get the 2.4GHz network to associate with any clients. I am happy with my setup now, so if this does happen again, I will be contacting Linksys directly for support.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If this is an intermittent problem, then I have no idea what could be causing it. If it is a consistent issue, double check the router settings by logging in to the linksyssmartwifi account. Under the wireless settings you can turn off the 'Broadcast SSID', which means it is still broadcasting the signal but the name isn't discoverable, so you have to enter the router's information manually whenever you want to connect to it.
