Top new router options featuring dual or triband capabilities.
I'm thinking about slow internet connections or vehicles moving at very low speeds.
I’m under 20mb on the wireless. I’ve switched channels and still only get a few extra 1-2mb here and there.
Which network interface are you using, the one centered in the crosshair? I think we might resolve this without any cost. Have you considered turning off the 2.4GHz band on the router side? How much space separates your devices? What materials does your home structure consist of? You’re getting roughly 500 Mbps from the 2x2 NIC in the crosshair, which means there’s significant room for improvement.
First I’d verify that 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz aren’t sharing the same SSID, since users often pick 2.4Ghz for better coverage even though 5Ghz tends to be slower but faster. After that, confirm your client is connected to the 5Ghz network. It’s also possible your device doesn’t support 5Ghz at all, so you might need to replace the WiFi card if possible. The router hardware appears to be the issue here.
I've installed the wireless card directly on the motherboard, used a TP Link Archer T8E, and tried the Netgear A6210 adapter.
Keep your router and install an access point instead. My Linksys AC 1600 had slow WiFi until I added an AP, which improved everything. The Unifi AP AC PRO is a good choice. Setup is straightforward, though a few tweaks could speed it up even more. You don’t need a constantly active controller since you’re using just one AP. If you need assistance, reach out to the Ubiquiti community or this forum—Ubiquiti Support isn’t helpful.
They use distinct SSIDs. I’m aware that VHT 802.11ac is active, but I haven’t adjusted it and don’t understand how to modify the router’s settings.
