- Mfr and model# of the ISP modem: (google) GFR G210 NETWORK + BOX
- Size of your home: 3328 sq.ft. 2 story contemporary
- Distance between router and satellites: 20 ft to rear satellite; 25 ft to front satelite. Router in approximate middle of house on first floor; each satellite on second floor
- Wi-fi channels: 2.4GHz = 11; 5 GHz = 48
- Neighbors near by: yes - see NetSpot screenshot attachment
- Wireless Settings: Mimo (enabled), Daisy Chaining (enabled), Fast Roaming (disabled), IPv6 (disabled)
- will try disabling mimo and daisy chaining and observe before trying next changes
- 2.4 GHz settings: CTS/RTS Threshold = 2347 Preamble mode = automatic and 20/40 MHz Coexistence is checked
- 5 GHz settings: CTS/RTS Threshold = 2347 Preamble mode = automatic WMM is enabled
- If disabling mimo and daisy chaining are not successful after some observation, I will perform the additional changes suggested:
Thank you,
