Re: Horrible latency
Yup, I recently had a stint of nearly 2weeks of a sketchy connection. The tower was worked on twice in that time, but now the connection is back to normal. Very frustrating when that happens. The second tower I could fall back on is a solid strong signal 5G N71 low band, but the gateway decides that the overly weak N41 mid band should be selected, which is frustrating.15Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dual band router
I had older WiFi devices that wouldn’t connect to the gateway’s WiFi, so I renamed the 2.4GHz WiFi SSID1to a separate name from the two 5GHz WiFi bands SSID5 & SSID9 so it now shows up as a separate 2.4GHz WiFi network and they all connect to it now. Some older devices might want WPA encryption, so you could change that setting to WPA/WPA2.16Views0likes0CommentsWant Low Band But It Won’t Stay There
I’m close to the edge of one tower’s coverage and myconnection constantly bounces from mostly very slow speed to sometimes very fast speed. I have tried positioning and moving the gateway toall sorts of places throughout the house to keep it on the very good signal of the N71 low band, but the gateway insists on frequently choosing the N41 mid band that has a barely to no usable signal. It seems to me that the gateway is not at all programmed correctly when it prefers a very unreliable band over a very solid reliable signal on another band. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe some way to shield the mid band signal?98Views0likes1Comment
