Lumia 950XL 5ghz Wifi issue

Anonymous

So I have found when using my 5Ghz N network the phone will lose all WiFi networking. On first use, it will connect up OK. But let it sit and come back to it, it will have lost the WiFi network and the ability to see any other WiFi network with "no networks found". Only a phone reboot will fix it until it happens again.

So far I've experienced it on my Linksys E8350 (supposed AC2400 and MIMO which the 950XL claims to support). My Wifi router is set for Wireless A or N on 5Ghz, while it can do N, B, or G on 2.4

My workaround is to only connect to the 2.4Ghz WiFi at this point.

Anyone else experiencing complete WiFi radio failure like this?
