R6300v2 Router Getting Varying Speeds Per Device
Sitting on the couch with my iPad & iPhone both connected to my Netgear Router. ISP is Comcast.
i notice the iPad performance seems slow. I run a speed test via the Ookla Speed Test App and get results of 3.05 download & 4.02 upload :-( . I pull out my iPhone and run the same speed test via the same App and get speeds of 170 download & 12 upload. These are the speeds I expect.
my kids frequently complain of slow internet & I'm thinking they are probably getting slow speeds as well. What would cause the varying speeds per device(s)?
Hi RobInDaBurgh,
1. Please try connecting the iPad to the 5GHz band and check if the issue persists.
2. Please make sure that the iOS version is up to date.
3. Please make sure the other wireless devices in the network are connected to the 5GHz band if possible.
4. You can check with a WiFi analyzer app to check for interference and try changing the wireless channel.

Community TeamYou mention connecting to the 5GHZ band. How do you do that? All devices are connecting to the same SSID.
