We have a guy that had problems with 2.4 GHz when the 5 GHz was enabled
on those routers. I believe the only choice was to disable 5.7 so 2.4
would work.

This is pretty basic stuff, I know people will say don�t use 2.4 GHz,
but if you�re going to sell a dual band router, both bands should work.

If anyone is using these and running into problems with devices
disconnecting from the 2.4 GHz, it seems to be a firmware bug.
We normally set the 2.4 frequency to 2437, and my installer had been
reporting that customer devices couldn�t even stay connected until he
changed the frequency to 2417. We thought wow, that�s quite a
coincidence that we were running into such terrible interference at
multiple customer houses, despite being out in the country. So I set
one up here at the office and was immediately able to duplicate the
problem. Log shows group key exchange timeout. Mikrotik of course
will always reply in the forums this is due to poor signal or
interference.
We had been running 6.35.2 firmware. I see in the changelogs that
Mikrotik made a wireless driver update in 6.37, so I tried 6.37.3 and
voila, problem solved.
