I have a C700v2 need help with app
On the nighthawk app when I go to devices each device has a link rate what does that mean? Is that the wifi speed that they are receiving from the router?

That's their negotiated link rate between router-----device. It can change based on distance/interference.
And it gives you a rough idea of how fast the connection is because usually actual throughput speed is roughly 55-65% of link speed.
- Slr8929AspirantI have a device on the app that says the link rate is 144Mbps does that mean that is the amount of speed it’s using?
Thats its connection to the router, not the amount of bandwidth used.
