QUOTE(failed.hashcheck @ Dec 7 2021, 06:56 PM) Yeah i think he made up that number 🤔 or just honest typo from 28 or 38. That aside, the 2 vs 5 ghz numbers seems off even if it tops at 30mbps. The only explaination I could come with is interference from other 2.4ghz or simply channel congestion.  this is today on 2.4Ghz in a closed room a few metres away from router at 7pm ~ so ya probably due to other users as the last test was in the morning |

WiFi will be always lesser regardless 2.4 or 5 GHz besides limitations from devices. QUOTE(purple_rain2011 @ Dec 7 2021, 07:23 PM) this is today on 2.4Ghz in a closed room a few metres away from router at 7pm ~ so ya probably due to other users as the last test was in the morning |

If you're in an apartment block there will many people competing for the same wifi bandwith, particularly on 2.4GHz. I'm sure if you do a wifi survey you'll see many AP's on the same channel.
Best to set your 2.4GHz channel bandwidth to 20MHz.

Ok bro I understand Shameless plug I want to show off my WiFi too lmao  |

QUOTE(purple_rain2011 @ Dec 6 2021, 11:51 AM) 2G Upload speed: 17Mbps 2G Download speed: 12.4Mbps 5G Upload speed: 20Mbps 5G Download speed: 48.7Mbps And this is not a huge difference? This is because of channel overlapping. Does your neighborhood has many WiFi SSID? If yes then that is the issue. 2.4Ghz WiFi tend to get overlap easily with other channel, even using microwave can affect the 2.4Ghz channel. This is not getting cheated, you have to do your own research about this, or ask them when they were installing your internet long time ago. |
