X10 R900 5GHz wifi sticks to 802.11/a
My X10 R9000 is stuck to 802.11/a on the 5GHz wifi but my wifi connected devices support 802.11/ac. How do I make X10 R9000 to broadcast 802.11/ac? X10 is up to date with firmware. Wired speeds are ...
Hello everyone,
Thank you for your time and efforts in trying to help.
However, I found the solution on another forum: Can't seem to sustain more than 54mbps wireless w/ R7000 | SmallNetBuilder Forums (snbforums.com)
It turns out 802.11 specs that hi throughput rates (anything above 54Mbps) require WMM and WPA2/AES (or no encryption).
I turned on WMM for 5GHz and voila, my SSID is 802.11ac, 80MHz channel width, up to 3467Mbps max speed.
Thank you.
Best to all and good luck
What do you have your "up to ****" " speeds set to?
Have you done a wifi scan (not with windows built int) to see if its broadcasting on full width?
What device are you testing on?
