Nighthawk ax4 and Intel 9560
Hi, I just purchased the nighthawk ax4 and expected my HP probook 450 G6 with Intel 9560 wifi card to get more than 866 , it should get up to 1733 as per Intel specs, the Intel 9560 is 160mhz. The 9560 is setup as per Intel, what have I missed, ax4 has latest firmware.
Hi,
I was able to sove this with Netgear support. Under Basic > Wireless go to the 5ghz band.
By default channel 44 is selected, we changed it to channel 60 and the intel 9560 wifi card now connects at 1.5gbps. I did not try any other channels to see what results they produced. Hopefull this hepls. If you can upgrade your computer wifi card the Intel 9560 gives this great speed. I have not tried the Intel 9260 which also a 160mhz wifi card. If the Intel 9560 requires the Intel SoC chipset but the Intel 9260 will word with some previous chipsets. Cheers
