MdoggTV Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Hey guys so i have a xr700 wifi speed is amazing downstairs but as soon as i go upstairs it goes from 800mb to around 5-10mb i am drectly above the router so it is not a big distance maybe 10 meters max from the router to my phone if i was to cut a line in the floor. Some settings i have are: enabled smart mode to bond 2.4ghz and 5ghz enabled implicit beamforming enabled mu-mimo CTS/RTS 2347 disabled ipv6 preamble mode: auto transmit power 100% if anyone has any idea or settings that could be changed let me know as iv never had an issue like this before with any other routers.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted October 1, 2020 Administrators Posted October 1, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Sounds to me like a 5GHz related problem. While 5GHz has faster maximum throughput than 2.4GHz, it drops off far more quickly when moving away from the router. As a test, I would suggest separating the 2.4 and 5GHz bands (disable smart connect), giving them separate SSIDs, and seeing if you get better results on the 2.4GHz network.
MdoggTV Posted October 1, 2020 Author Posted October 1, 2020 hey there, So i just done that and seem to be getting around 30-40mb now which is better but still strange
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted October 1, 2020 Administrators Posted October 1, 2020 Agreed, that is a lot slower than i'd expect. And this is only happening on wifi devices? LAN devices aren't slowing down at all?
MdoggTV Posted October 1, 2020 Author Posted October 1, 2020 yea lan is amazing and getting full speed its really weird as no other router had this issue
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 2, 2020 Administrators Posted October 2, 2020 Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel in your area and then change to that for 2.4GHz. Also have a look online for the optimal antennae placement as this can affect it more than you may think.
