testing speed im wireless right now becuase my wife is sleeping on the couch
on my 5g xfinity speed 561.0 speedtest 762.6-----pretty impressive 5ghz speeds.
my 5g guest network is xfinity 236 speedtest 292----not as worrisome as its a guest network. Isolated from your network.
there is nothing on my guest networks but me testing
2.4 xfinity 82.5 speedtest 59.79 average over multible tests----if your area has interference, thats actually a pretty good 2.4ghz speed for 2.4ghz. Even when I test in an area with minimal 2.4ghz signals, the max I get is around 100mbps.
2.4 guest xfi 65.8 speedtest 59.7
i know 2.4 is slower but this much difference ---Yes. This much difference. Its the whole point of 5ghz. less interference and higher bandwidth.
when the app did work 2.4 was 431. on speedtest---when you test on the app it hosts the test directly on the router. It doesn't indicate your actual wireless speeds.
the other thing is streaming amazon i get a german message first then japanese then UK and finnally english saying it timed out.----not sure what you're meaning by this.
didnt happen with xfinity modem/router
What device are you using for testing? usually the device you're testing on is the limiting factor when it comes to the CAX80
LG gram
i just thought the 2.4 was way slow my smart house isnt to smart since I got the ax8
i cant even connect with the app unless I reset everything then its good for almost a day.

LG gram---what wireless card is in it? how are you testing speeds? have you tried other devices? Also, how far away from the router are you? 5ghz speeds drop off quickly.
i just thought the 2.4 was way slow---its is slow. its great for Iot device but a bit lackluster for streaming. my smart house isnt to smart since I got the ax8---what do you mean your house isn't to smart since you got it?
i cant even connect with the app unless I reset everything then its good for almost a day.---connect with the nighthawk app? I don't use the app a whole lot but have you tried a couple devices to see if its a device issue? I usually just connect via the browser
