Hi, we have always had trouble connecting any home devices that only uses 2.4ghz wifi to our network. Particularly our nanoleafs and roborock S8 vaccuum. It takes like 100 tries before we can get it to connect and even then it's sometimes a buggy experience. We are using the default Xfinity router which has been fine and realiable for everything else in our apartment but I don't know how to make something just try to connect to the 2.4 ghz network. Today our roborock lost connection and I can't get it back online. I tried splitting our 2.4 and 5ghz signals to separate wifis and it won't connect to the 2.4. seems like it wants to do it through my phone which will only accept the 5 ghz network. Even though I would consider myself very knowledgeable about computers my knowledge of all things Internet is very limited. Is there something special I need to do or is this just a limitations of the Xfinity router? The home devices are in the same room as the router.

Long story short: 1. I have 2 monitors 1 Acer 144hz and 1 Dell P2319H 60hz (new brought yesterday) 2. Dell monitor has upstream port (I tried unplugging it and it still won't connect) (Usage for upstream: webcam BECOS WEBCAM CABLES ARE SO SHORT!!!! ARGH) 3. Wifi only connects when its 2.4Ghz and when tried connecting to 5Ghz it does connect but no internet connection is coming through 4. Both monitors are connected using HDMI to a RTX 3070 5. I have a wifi repeater (TP link) wifi router (TP Link) Pls send help. Update: I called the telco and they tried resetting and troubleshooting my router and 5gz still doesnt work.

Hey folks, I'm new here. I believe I've identified an issue with some wireless peripherals I have such as my Razer Nari Ultimate and my Xbox One controller with PC wireless dongle. The biggest issue that I have had or noticed is that the Xbox controller will intermittently just seemingly stop sending inputs to the PC. It will eventually return to normal functionality but I perceive it as though the wireless handshake between the dongle and the controller just drops and they have to renegotiate it. I've recently been made aware by happenstance that USB 3.x ports introduce interference in the 2.4Ghz spectrum. My question(s) are, is there a way to know if the manufacturer of a Motherboard/Case/any type of USB 3.x interface has done anything to mitigate this issue unless it has been explicitly stated? Also, what can I do as an average user to improve my existing wireless peripheral experience? Am I supposed to use USB 2.0 for everything beyond when bandwidth is necessary, or am I supposed to plug my wireless receivers/dongles into USB ports as physically far away from USB 3.x ports? In y'all's anecdotal experience does buying shielded cables help to mitigate this issue in a tangible/significant enough way to justify added cost? All that to say I just want my controller to not drop while I'm getting absolutely Shrekt in Monster Hunter on PC. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to look at this and either drop just raw information or suggestions. Thanks! -
wifi Bad wifi, but only between one computer and one router
SpaceGhostC2C posted a topic in Networking
So... scratching my head on this one. I have a small network in my house, organized as follows: ISP wifi-capable modem-router ----> my own wifi-capabe router ---> a bunch of stuff downstream via Ethernet (including a wifi AP) So, with all wifi devices on, I can get up to 3 wifi signals in the house. Moreover, the ISP router and the AP have dual 2.4GHz + 5GHz AC radios, while my router has only 2.4GHz N. Every computer/phone/thing but one can connect to every wireless network, with the expected variation in strength depending on location. Then there is this laptop. It connects to the ISP router and the AP normally (also with the expected distance-based decay), whether it's the 2.4G or the 5G version. However, it can't properly connect to the 2.4G network of my own router. It doesn't matter if I put it next to it, it sees it as a very week network, and using it feels like we're back in dial up days. Remember: every other device connects fine to that network, and the connection is naturally stronger the closer you get, so it's not a general router problem. The problematic laptop also connects fine to every other wifi, so it's not a general laptop problem. However, the combination of that router and this laptop is doomed. My question: what on Earth could cause such a specific problem? Is there any hope of a solution? EDIT: further information, I experience the same behavior under Windows 10 and Linux Mint 20 -
We are just 9 days away from AMD's Radeon RX 6000 "Big Navi" reveal and AMD appears to have something potentially groundbreaking up its sleeve; to not only challenge the GeForce RTX 3080, but also possibly even the mighty GeForce RTX 3090. Patrick Schur, who has been fairly reliable with past leaks, is suggesting that the Navi 21 XT (a la Radeon RX 6900 XT) will feature a staggering game clock of 2.4GHz. Details of the Navi 21 XT and XL GPUs have leaked too; these details include base, game, and boost clocks of both GPUs, plus the TGP (total graphics power) and memory capacity of the Navi 21 XT. Source 1: https://www.eteknix.com/amd-navi-21-xt-graphics-card-specs-leak/ Source 2: https://hothardware.com/news/amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt-big-navi-24ghz-16gb-of-ram Source 3: https://www.techpowerup.com/273490/amd-navi-21-xt-seemingly-confirmed-to-run-at-2-3-2-4-ghz-clock-250-w Source 4: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/rumor-amds-navi-21-gpu-has-255-watts-tgp-and-boost-up-to-2-4-ghz.html Source 5: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-navi-21-xt-to-feature-2-3-2-4-ghz-game-clock-250w-tgp-and-16-gb-gddr6-memory Source 6: https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/joao-silva/amd-navi-21-xt-xl-leak-suggests-an-over-2-0ghz-boost-clock/ For now we will have to wait until 10/28/2020 to really see what AMD has in store for us. However, from what has been seen thus far, is that AMD is looking to shake up the dGPU market with its Radeon RX 6000 family of GPUs. Additionally, besides the Navi 21 XT and XL, rumors also say that there’s an XTX GPU with more CUs and conceivably different clock speeds. Regardless, in the meantime; take all of these leaks/rumors with a grain of salt, as currently, there is nothing really to back up these specs.

Issues with Corsair wirless keyboard and mouse...Anyone eles?
Gouldini posted a topic in Peripherals
Hi, So I bought a new wireless Corsair mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse (Ironclaw) and I've had issues with them ever since I got them... Managed to finally get them setup ond working through the ICue software from Corsair but they are taking turns in dropping out. first the connection will drop and need resting, then the key board will just lock up and lighting pattern for the keys will freeze until reset... Now the latest trick is that the mouse will not work unless its plugged into the USB directly. I have tried all of the obvious things like updating the drivers and firmware all successful but now it just will not work. Anyone else getting similar issues with Corsair stuff? Ps. I also upgraded all of the fan for the RGB HD Corsair fan, had issues with them too, had to wait for replacements before they would start working properly.. Starting to think their stuff is a little "Janky" .. Getting very tempted to send it all back and start again with a different brand…. As I type the keyboard locked up!!! FFS Thanks M -
So my current wifi adapter is 2.4GHz only and i wanted to upgrade to 5GHz for faster download speed (dont tell me to use lan cable). my current wifi adapter have an anthenna that's detatchable, if i switch the anthenna to the anthenna that does support 5GHz would the 5GHz work on my PC?

For a long time I've been stuck with a router provided by my ISP. There are 2 main devices on the network, my PC and my brothers laptop (The rest are phones, a TV etc.). For a long time we struggled with a problem that really bothers us. Whenever someone plays a game (it's usually competitive so we need reasonable pings) the other must either play a game too or don't use the internet, because simply watching a video caused the other person to have enormous pings. And if we watch videos at the same time it can be done without a hiccup at 1080p. I thought it's, because of my pretty slow (20Mb download) DSL connection, but here's the deal: When watching a video on one computer, you can play games on normal ping!. And this comes down to buying a new router and a new WiFi card to my PC (I needed the card even without it, because the old one broke and I'm using a WiFi extender hooked up next to my PC and connected to it with an Ethernet cable acting as a Wifi card). I was reading about the standards, dualbands, 5GHz and it's a little bit confusing. The thing I want the most is being is for 2 devices to use the internet at the same time. I know my internet speed can provide it for one device so it can be done for 2 too. And with the opportunity of buying a new router and a Wifi card for my PC it can be done with the laptop working on 2.4GHz and my PC on 5GHz, but as I said it's a little bit confusing which one to buy so can someone at least explain it or even give some examples of what to buy. The router must be xDSL and I would prefer to have the card inside my PC with a PCIe x1. I hope someone can help (maybe even the mighty Linus :D).

Hi All, I have been encoutnering an issue through work with a wireless bridge/repeater device that we provide with our products. the device is used to connect our Ethernet enabled products to a network via the bridge function of the device which supports 2.4GHz only, it can also repeat the network that it is bridging however we are not relying on this function for use with our products in particular. As of late i have been getting reports of connectivity issues with devices that broadcast a "Mesh" network, routers such as the Sky Q Hub and BT Home Hub 5 are frequently being reported as incompatible. These routers all use a mesh system which i think is the cause of our connectivity issues. Unfortunately my background is hardware engineering, i have limited experince with networking systems & functionality. Could anybody with experience of mesh networks or networking in general help shed some light on this issue? I would like to understand the protocol behind mesh networking to see if i can solve this issue with a software mod. An explanation on what a mesh network is and how a mesh enabled router functions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - PB

Hello, I'm using dual-band router with both frequencies working (2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz). SSIDs are different, so I won't get confused. My ISP provides me with 100 Mbps DL / 10 Mbps UP internet speed. I have max 5 devices connected to my router at the same time (1 by Ethernet - tv box, 2 smartphones by WiFi, 1 laptop by WiFi and Chromecast by WiFi) Neighbours have one 5 GHz radio long distance away my flat, and other radios (like 10 or so, closer in proximity) are 2.4 Ghz My router specs: Dual-band WLAN 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4GHz WLAN 802.11 ac, 5GHz (4x4) 4 MU-MIMO antennas WiFi frequencies used by devices: iPhone 7 - 2.4 Ghz Galaxy S7 - 5 Ghz Chromecast - 5 Ghz Laptop - 5 Ghz Problem is: When I'm playing online game on my S7 and my wife uses laptop at the same time, I get ping spikes and lags (from 30 ms to 250 ms) every time she opens a website or generally moderately uses internet (not downloading stuff). Even tho I'm sitting like 3 meters from a router and she's like two rooms away. When she's not using internet everything works like a charm. Furthermore, when I was playing CS: GO on laptop, connected through 5 GHz I got lags (I was sitting 2 meters from router), but switching to 2.4 GHz solved the problem, no more lag... and I suppose she weren't even using her iPhone whole time, but I'm not sure, and both devices at the beginning were connected to 5 Ghz wifi Another weird example - chromecast - while streaming whole phone screen. Chromecast is like 1 meter from router. When S7 and Chromecast are connected both to 5 Ghz there is slight lag after connecting. Like I have to wait 3 or 4 seconds before Chromecast responds with actual screen after showing first screen (it freezes for a moment). After those couple of seconds everything starts to work super smoothly and fast. But if S7 is connected to 5 GHz and Chromecast is connected to 2.4 GHz there's no lag, no screen freeze at all! My question is: Is it possible that connecting all devices to 5GHz may cause ping spike and laging, and seperating devices to different frequencies (like 2 devices on 5 ghz and 2 devices on 2.4 Ghz) will let router to provide me with better ping times and generating no lag? Or maybe it's my router is faulty and cannot keep up when everything is on 5GHz?

Background Okay, so i'm about to move into my own apartment for the first time And I really enjoy streaming to Twitch on the side while I game. The place is not going to be big because it's only me so, what should I look for in a router? Main question? The internet plan we're looking at is 100/100 unless I need something better down the line? I'm mainly looking to have the capabilities to stream at 6k bit rate if I want to later. I don't think I'd need more download though but we'll see if I can find a better deal. My thoughts What i've learned so far is that I should probably have a dual band router so I can use a 5ghz connection for my wireless headphones for my phone. My computer will be using ethernet connection and then I don't think there's many more devices being connected. I haven't bought a tv or much else yet. Might buy a nintendo switch at some point but I don't suppose that matters much? Asus RT-N66U is what i've been looking at so far but I have no idea if there's some special I should be looking for in a router besides the dual band thing.

So recently some of my family have been saying that my Netgear Powerline adapter that I use for my Ethernet is screwing up all of their wifi/internet speeds and I'm not going back to wifi as I can't play any games reliably on it, and to be quite honest i don't think the adapters are doing anything but whatever. So i'm looking to get a second internet provider for my house with its own access point just specifically for my pc and maybe a few other devices but will this affect the speeds or reliability of my internet? The person i spoke to over the phone for getting my second internet said that having 2 access points could hurt my ping in games but from what i can understand from my little experience in networking this should only hurt my wireless speeds and not my wired/ethernet speeds correct? TL;DR Will having 2 different internet providers with their own access points affect my Ethernet and WiFi Speeds on either router? Also my current internet has both a 2.4GhZ band and a 5 GhZ band if that helps. feel free to ask any questions on anything i may have missed. Thanks! -
So, i just got a new router that supports 5ghz. But i can only see the 2.4ghz network under available Networks. that got me thinking if i was to far away from the router, but im only 10ft away and it works fine on my laptop. So maybe it is my network card (ASUS PCE-N10 11n) that isn't setup correctly. can any of you guys tell me if it supports 5ghz, or if it's just set up incorrectly. Thank you

Hi LTT Forums, I got a new 802.11ac WiFi adaptor (the kind with antennas) that should support both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi. This isn't immediately an issue because my router has a network for both frequencies. However, my PC is unable to find my 2.4Ghz network (or any network at that frequency for the matter). This might not sound like an issue, however it prevents me from doing certain things like connecting to LAN games with my friends/siblings. Furthermore, although counter-intuitive, if anything I've noticed the 5Ghz network is marginally slower than the 2.4Ghz one. All I can find online are cases where people operating at 2.4Ghz are unable to connect to 5Ghz. I've tried reinstalling drivers but that didn't do anything. The adaptor is listed in device manager as 'Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter'. The model of adaptor is 'ASUS PCE-AC56 AC1300 Dual Band Wireless PCI-Express Adaptor'. Does anyone have any ideas of how I would be able to find and connect to 2.4Ghz networks?
-
I'm going to be upgrading my internet soon and I'll be getting a router that supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Would it be beneficial to split up my devices between the two bands? Or would I be best served to connect all capable devices to 5GHz?

Hi! I'm pretty use to the computer part deal, but what happen between that lan port (or wireless) and the router is still mystery to me! So... my ISP give me 120mbps. Let's say I have an AC1200 typical 2-band router. (Normally advertised as 300+867mbps or whatever) So by that I think "ok 2.4 can transfer (or speak let's say) with my device at 300mbps", "and 5 can transfer (or speak with my device) at 867mbps" (I'm already aware of the 2.4 vs 5 range difference) Here are my question: 1: If I have 2 device connected to the 300mbps 2.4 band, do they each get 150mbps access at the same time or will they go turn by turn or some other deal. And so with the 5 band will 2, 3, 4 etc devices split the 867mbps? 2: following that question, even if one device can send a message from itself to the router at let's say 300mbps on the 2.4 band, it can only "exit" my household and transfer throught the internet at 120mbps because of my ISP? 3: I found mixed answer about this one, does a wired connection affect the wireless network? If so in what way? Does it affect bandwidth? Does it share a part of the ISP speed (ex. 50mbps for LAN and 70mbps for wireless?) Thank you so much in advance!

Hey, just bought the new corsair harpoon rgb wireless and I hate it. It works well, when it works. Most of the time I get insane lag or the mouse stops working mid-stroke. I've seen similar issues on Reddit but no solutions. Does anyone have any explanation or solutions? Basically my cursor tweaks and glitches, sometimes stops completely when im moving around. I've tested different surfaces and mouse pads. It works flawlessly when connected through the wire, so I know its for sure the wireless connection, just sucks because I bought it because its a wireless mouse. Currently using the 2.4ghz connection with USB dongle. I tried Bluetooth and it was atrocious. Thank you

Guys, because I am in school, so I can not change the router network setting. The school wifi is using 802.11n and enabled 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz Here I am asking, how can I only connect to 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz? Cuz 5Ghz in school is pretty slow (like 500kbps) and 2.4Ghz can go to 60mbps. is there anyway changing it by CMD or control panel? the network properties does not have the option (which my desktop have) BTW the network is Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377

ok so lets say that I am connected to WIFI network 1 and it is run on 2.4ghz and I have a second WIFI network that is 5ghz but lets say am using ethernet and it says that my ethernet is connected to wifi network 1 which is 2.4ghz does it matter like should I connect it to the 5ghz one can I ever do that? does it even matter? (please let me know your thoughts and answers if possible)

I'm going to switch from old annoyingly slow broadband connection to Fibernet (100Mbps). I have an old unused NETGEAR N300 router (JWNR2010v5) which i got few years ago. I know it's single band 2.4GHz and I will be using it on 2 floors, it should have good connectivity through concrete a floor and walls. I heard 5GHz is only good on same floor open space. Can I still use that router in 2020 or I should get a new one?

I just bought a TP-Link WiFi booster, and I can’t work out whether I should have the name as the same as my router, or to have them as WifiXXXX-Ext. I’d rather that my devices switch seamlessly.

Hey! I am just new to the dual band router concept. I have a 60 mbps FTTH connection and I am having an issue with it. I know its a bit weird to ask but I am getting same speed on my 5ghz wifi as the 2.4Ghz. The speed is around 57-60 mbps. I have tried changing the channels and channel bandwidth but still the problem continues. Is it like if you are on the 5ghz band u would be getting double the bandwidth than before . I know this is a silly question to ask but I would be glad if someone could help me out. I have a TP Link Archer A6 AC1200 router

So im leaving windows to linux as im getting into programming and mostly only watch youtube. Doesn't have to support 5ghz doesn't have to be insanely fast but I need great compatibility. Preferably with ubuntu, fedora, and parrot os. I have this wifi usb adapter https://www.trendtechcn.com/Product.aspx?ProductId=322 which i've read works perfectly fine with linux but can't seem to get working. Make file always spits out an error (even with drivers from vendor and multiple github files). Any suggestions on what wifi adapter you have on linux or ones that the chipset doesn't change. (note don't care about monitor mode)

Hi everyone! Whilst reconfiguring my AIO modem and powerline with wireless capabilities I discovered some rather weird things: 1) One of my printers is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal of its own called HP-Print-EC-ENVY 5530 series on the same channel as the network it's connected with. (The printer didn't have ethernet support ?.) Why is it doing this and would this cause any interference, there shouldn't be any connected devices on that network. 2) My Surface 3 Pro is broadcasting a 5GHz signal of its own, it's called DIRECT-MO<<Devices name>>msR3 weirdly enough on a channel of its own (36). At first I thought I accidentally activated the hotspot function so I checked but it wasn't on. When I activated the hotspot function the aforementioned network disappeared and was replaced by the hotspot network on the same channel. 3) The Macbook Pro (early 2011) (not mine btw) was not able to register any channels over 48 on the 5GHz band. I checked and the network card complies with 802.11n and works fine with a 5GHz channel on channel 36. The country code it's receiving at boot is EU, apparently every time it boots the first router that gets a signal to the mac determines the country code and thus the allowed bands on the 5GHz spectrum. If you have any idea why these things are the way they are, your help would be very much appreciated.
