Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 15 Administrators Share Posted March 15 How old are both devices? AX WiFi would help you here I think so should be enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 15 Administrators Share Posted March 15 It still works for 2.4GHz! 5GHz will always be better for speed though WESTC0AST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 15 Administrators Share Posted March 15 You can enable OFDMA yes and that might improve it, otherwise ensure there aren't any wireless devices e.g. headphones etc in close proximity to the router as that could influence it. That 350 is going to be about the max for 2.4 in perfect scenario so if you want better speeds on wifi definitely use 5GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm literally 5 feet away from router nothing in between. just don't know why its so slowly, by the way OFDMA didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 15 Administrators Share Posted March 15 Could you provide a screenshot of your QoS page please? What speeds do you actually pay for/receive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 16 Administrators Share Posted March 16 Are you using Armor by any chance? Do both devices have the private/random MAC addresses option enabled? If so disable that and see if that is any better please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
