RAX48 router.. no devices seem to work with it (maybe one or two)
I have a Samsung S20 Ultra phone. My friend has the S21 Ultra. He also has a Samsung TV. None of these devices seem to like 5Ghz. We're literally feet away from the router. My phone and the televisio...
I tried switching the 5Ghz channel. So far internet works, let's see if it stays working. If anyone is wondering, I found this page:
https://help.datto.com/s/article/KB115005589863#:~:text=All%20of%20the%205%20GHz,channel%20width%20than%202.4%20GHz.
and switch channels to one with a higher Mhz:
"When using 5 GHz, it is recommended to use at least 40 MHz channel width, as some client devices may not prefer 5 GHz unless it offers a greater channel width than 2.4 GHz."
That didn't seem to work. 5Ghz seems to work sometimes (rarely) and gets good speed when it does, but it often is slow to start.. like you'll load Reddit.. part of reddit loads (the header) but the rest doesn't load for another 5 seconds. Speed test sometimes takes 30 or 40 seconds to figure out what provider I'm on and find a server. But then it does the test it's close to 600Mbps.
