Re: No 5G signal after firmware updated to 100.18 arcadyan gateway
It seems that the update to 1.00.18 has been problematic for a lot of customers. No concerns when my gateway updated so I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. Try a factory reset. If this doesn’t work, contact TM. Don’t wait on hold. Request a call back when offered. I’ve had the unlimited service for a month now and plan on waiting at least one more month before cutting the Comcast cord. Say what you will about Xfinity but at least my service has been 99% reliable and is vastly superior to AT&T’s awful DSL which I stubbornly kept for way too long.56Views2likes0CommentsRe: KVD21 gateway - Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) when connected with the 2.4 Ghz band?
I found the answer for the 2.4 Ghz band. The network adapter for my cheapo HP pc is only capable of this speed for this band. To get quicker speeds I need a better adapter which I ordered two days ago from CDW. My current network adapter tops out at 433 Mbps with the 5 Ghz band which is adequate for my needs. Hopefully the Wi-Fi 6 adapter I bought will be equal to or better than that. To anybody who downvotes me I hope it’s not because I called the Nokia a trashcan. This is what it’s commonly called on one of the subreddits. No offense to those who were sent that unit. I was sent a brand new KVD21. So far so good.55Views1like0CommentsKVD21 gateway - Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) when connected with the 2.4 Ghz band?
Why does my KVD21 gateway select Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) when it connects with the 2.4 Ghz band? Wi-Fi 4 only supports 72 Mb/sec download speed. The 5 Ghz band with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) supports up to 433 Mb/sec download speed? Do the Nokia trashcan and the Sagemcon also do this? There are many knowledgeable people here who probably can explain this. Any other KVD21 gateway users experience this? Curiosity more than anything since most of my devices use the 2.4 Ghz band. My Windows 11 desktop PC and smartphone are able to connect and use the 5 Ghz band. My smart TVs cannot because the KVD21 always (so far) selects a DFS channel which the TVs can’t access.324Views1like2Comments
