AC1900 C7000 v2 slow WiFi speeds
I have Comcast Internet and was getting a little over 150mbps with the xfinity router but I wanted to save some money and not rent the router so I bought a Nighthawk C7000 which is on the comcast com...
Please bearwith me, im not the techsavviest person.
1. Not really sure what you mean... Drywall, wood? that would really only affect the speed as i get further from the Router, but as I am literally sitting next to it now, on my phone, my speed is in the 50s
2. Im on 2.4, but like I said im sitting right next to the router, surely I could get more than 50/250 sitting next to it?
3. I havent, is there any rhyme or reason to them, or just try different ones until I find which works the best?
4. Im' not sure, I dont think too much.
5. How do I tell?
6. I dont kow what WMM is.
2.4ghz is much slower than 5 ghz. Even close to the router.
What speeds do you get over 5ghz and what speeds do you get hardwired?
Wireless is a good indicator of how a devices is performing but many things impact the speed such as the device testing with, housing materials, wifi interference, etc. 5ghz has less interference and much higher throughput (speeds).
