Nighthawk mesh slow speed
I have installed a new nighthawk WiFi 6 mesh router with 1 satellite. I am getting great speed on speed test from the fiber, but the WiFi speeds SUCK. when I look at the network map, everything seems ...
Fixed the issue with the satellite that was limiting itself to 100 Mbps. Logged in a ticket with Netgear and also found a bad jumper going from the satellite device to the 1 Gig switch. I bought 15 Cat 6 jumpers for this upgrade and one was not working correctly. Not 100 % sure if the jumper by itself was the whole problem, because I had previously tested the Ethernet port of the satellite independently with a separate cable. But in any case, both satellites are now running at 1 Gig speeds
I have 200mb comcast connection. Got the nighthawk mesh wifi 6 system from costco with 1 router and 2 satellites. Right in front of the router gives me 240mb second. Ethernet moms computer gives 240mb also no issues. I get about 5-10mb in my parents bedroom. But afetr connect a satellite I get about 90mb. And 90 in my garage. Only my bedroom and my guest room get about 60 mb. Rest of the house about 150mb on my motorola z3 play and about 30 more on my parents iphone xs max. Except the netgear nighthawk app says 240mb. Every other app says 140mb. But no issues with ethernet and right in front of the router.
