Which mode shoud i chose [newbie]

[ShoMy]

Am really kind a newbie in networking,by that i just read some topics related to networking and i wondered this

Which mode is best?

IEEE 802.11n only

802.11b+802.11g

Same just +802.11n

And shoud i use SSID isolation and what it is?

Why not just leave it at default? Ususally it'll figure out the best connection for the device you're using.

It gives me so shitty speeds..

802.11b+802.11g+802.11n. People may still have wireless g standard. Its more older hardware. I figure most people have at least N.

What does windows say the link speed is?

P.S my LAN port died so am forced to use my WiFi router,BTW my speeds are 5.5 down and 0.5 up

72 and my router that recives signal stand right in front of router that send signal..

Just set it to n only.  If they're not on that or newer they have no right to connect and drag down your network

well that's faster than both wireless b and g so you're using n therefore the max link speeed for your router

 

remember that you won't actually evver achieve the advertised speed (300Mb, 150Mb etc) because reasons that are more difficult to explain

 

perhaps you need to lok at your antennae

 

perhaps you need to look at who else is using your wifi space

My main is AC because my family has nothing but AC hardware. My guest network support g and higher though.

Yeah i understand it,i set it to n only,am gonna run test now to see did it inprove anything

Oh i changed to n only and band with to 40 now its at 150mbs
