QUOTE(arrsoo @ Nov 19 2017, 11:22 PM) kind to elaborate in what way it is bad? Shorter range than my asus rt-n12hp, resulting in very poor connection and slow speed. |

QUOTE(ppfoong @ Nov 20 2017, 11:34 AM) The rt-n12hp has 9 dbi antennas, while the c1200 has 5 dbi antennas. so since my smart tv is far from my router, so it's better if i use rt-n12hp?Higher gain antenna can reach further but has narrower coverage field. It is good for fixed WiFi connection (the device won't move around, such as desktop, printer, smart TV, etc.) that are some distance away and located within the coverage field. If the connection is moving around (smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc.), you will get good connection at certain area, and poor connection at certain area. Lower gain antenna has broader coverage field but shorter reach. It is good for both fixed and mobile WiFi connections, that are located not too far away. The main advantage of c1200 is its 5 GHz band. You can enjoy fast speed with wireless-ac connection. thanks for the input. |

QUOTE(ppfoong @ Nov 20 2017, 12:02 PM) For modern smart TV that supports 5 GHz wireless-ac and high resolution display (full HD, 4k, ...), you need the wireless-ac WiFi for smooth and lag free high resolution video streaming. C3150 or C3200 are good choices. I use C2600 (still sold in the market, but already taken off from TPlink Malaysia website), so far so good. My router is at 1st floor and my TV is at ground floor, about 20-30 feets apart. if i don't want to change router, is there any wifi extender that i can use? can't use powerline adapter because the house is in 3 phase.Look for these 2 keywords in the product: MU-MIMO, beamforming. |

I recently bought TP Link AX10, I activated Smart Connect, but I have a smart home device that can only connect to 2.4g but due to Smart Connect, it automatically connect to 5g.
Is there any way to set in the router settings that my smart home device can only connect to 2.4g? |

QUOTE(FusionXY @ Jun 13 2020, 02:42 PM) Hello, disable Smart Connect. I prefer to not disable Smart Connect.Thanks. QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jun 13 2020, 03:56 PM) If your smart home device do not support 5Ghz, it will not connect to 5Ghz. Don't worry.  QUOTE(Kiding @ Jun 13 2020, 06:34 PM) If it is mesh wifi uses 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz for single SSID, better disable 5ghz temporary because smart home device might fail to connect. Mine is not mesh wifi but somehow my Smart Home device couldn't connect to 2.4g when Smart Connect is activated, so it fail to work. |
