Which channel do you prefer? Single or dual?
Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I recently switched to a 3Gbps plan and installed an ORBI mesh Wi-Fi system to boost speeds throughout the house. Currently, my network only has one channel, which is shared by my parents for work, causing lag during gaming. Would dividing it into a 2.5GHz and 5GHz band improve performance? Thanks ahead!
Hello! Your setup could really benefit from it since you have a mesh system with various connections across all nodes. If you're near the router, 5GHZ will perform better; otherwise, 2.4GHZ is your best bet and try to join the least crowded network. You should be able to set up two separate networks—one for 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi and another for 5GHZ Wi-Fi. Using Ethernet when possible can also help, and setting speed limits for other devices might improve overall performance.
