Slow Wi-Fi performance for FTP transfers
Slow Wi-Fi performance for FTP transfers
Only the 2.4GHz range is covered here due to significant overlap. Set your 2.4GHz device to channel 11. Secondly, clients can’t always be forced onto the 2.4GHz band if it uses the same SSID as the 5GHz network. The adapter will choose the strongest and most reliable connection based on proximity. In Windows, you can set a preference at the adapter level, though it will still auto-negotiate. Please share the WiFi Analyzer results for the 5GHz band. What encryption or security settings are you applying?
This tool hasn't been used before. I only learned about the 5GHz band from the web interface. I'm using WPA2 for encryption.
Your device is ready. SSID labels are enabled. I notice several signals in the 5GHz band too.
Confirm if the 48 channel is indeed for Orbis and review the channel roster. Also, verify if 157 appears in your own channel list.
With 5Ghz available exclusively for you, assigning each Orbi to a unique channel would improve clarity during testing. A key issue is the app’s lack of display for 5Ghz channel widths, making it hard to gauge performance—though this isn’t critical as long as you understand the channel spacing on your satellites. WiFi Analyzer works well on recent Android devices for this purpose. Also unclear is what you mean by “getting Gigabit when you’re closer.” You should expect Gigabit speeds from all ports across all switches, unless another device is limiting the port’s performance back to the router. When idle, you can link many Gigabit switches together and still maintain Gigabit connectivity to the router.
