Disabling WMM Disables N? FW V2.2.1.210
While turning off WMM for both 2.4 and 5GHz in Advanced Setup -> WiFi Settings to see if my LIFX bulbs will stop randomly dropping the network, I noticed with WMM off my late 2011 MacBook Pro saw all...
Can try this:
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Change the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
WMM should be always enabled. If Mfr are directing you to disable it to make it work with there products, they should be correcting there products to to work better with it enabled.
Thank you for the reply. Your comment says two different settings to try:
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.
and
Change the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively)
Which should be tried....one if the other doesn't work?
