For those using dual band routers, do you guys disable the 2.4 Ghz wifi? (assuming that all the devices at your place can use 5Ghz)
Just wondering if there are any benefits in doing so, other than somewhat helping (less interference) your neighbors who are still using 2.4 Ghz. |

QUOTE(nimbus kayano @ Dec 10 2019, 08:14 PM) I recently bought an Asus Blue Cave 2600, thinking it will be an upgrade of my Asus RT-AC68. On 5GHz band, I could get 300Mbps download with my AC68, but on BlueCave I only got 111Mbps. Based on this review,I’m currently subscribing to 800Mbps package. I’m using IPhone 7Plus to test.. I expect my WiFi speed to reach at least 400Mbps as IPhone 7Plus top speed is 450Mbps.. Anyone have similar experience? I thought I would be getting an upgrade, but looks like it’s downgraded. On Blue Cave  On RT-AC68   https://www.tomsguide.com/us/asus-blue-cave...eview-6235.html The speed can definitely be faster than what you got. Probably need to tweak the settings or something? Or you can try doing the speed test further from the router as the review says it is better at long range |
