Three BD5 outdoor router worked fine for one month. Then, it's signal weakened to the point that items more than a few feet away would not stay connected. After hours troubleshooting and two lengthy calls with support, nothing has changed. A third call was supposed to happen days ago. Nothing. I'm disappointed in the product at this point and even more disappointed in ASUS support.

Dear Dave Seder,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if you started experiencing weak wireless signal after a month of usage. To resolve this issue, perform a power cycles on the router and your ISP's modem fora couple of minutes. Power on all devices, thereafter check if the security credentials on these router matches with your ISP's modem security information and check if your ISP's internet services or connection is working properly or stable. Also, we recommend updating the Mesh routers' firmware if running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-wifi-system/zenwifi-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-bd5-outdoor/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=ASUS-ZenWiFi-BD5-Outdoor.
