2.4ghz band showing half speed
Hello everyone, I have the AX6000 WiFi Mesh System (RBK852) and I am noticing that under connection status it is showing 2.4G as only 573.5M but shouldn't it be 1200? I may be missing someth...
On the product data sheet, notice the tiny footnote symbol after (2400 + 2400 + 1200Mbps)†
https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/orbi/RBK852.pdf
which leads to this footnote:
† Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE 802.11 specifications. Actual data throughput and wireless coverage will vary and be lowered by network and environmental conditions, including network traffic volume, device limitations, and building construction. NETGEAR makes no representations or warranties about this product’s compatibility with future standards. Up to 6,000Mbps wireless speeds achieved when connecting to other 802.11ax 6,000Mbps devices.
My guess is that there is no device connected to the Orbi on the 2.4G band that supports 802.11ax,or there is nothing close enough to get a higher speed.
