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

X10 is up to date with firmware. Wired speeds are ok - 490Mbs download and 26Mbs upload
ISP provides 500Mb/s download /25Mb/s upload. On 5GHz my wifi connected devices get no more than 25Mb/s download and 25Mb/s upload.
Any ideas?
In Advanced -> Setup -> Wireless Setup, do you have smart connect enabled?
If yes, disable it and give each band, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, separate SSIDs so you can distinguish them apart when connecting from your client devices.

I cannot see any image file you insert until approved by moderators. Much more efficient to attach image files. See attached. Limit to one attachment to reply. Just create more than one reply.
Attached is the Settings

Instead of two 20 MHz channels, select two 80 MHz channels like 42 and 155 for example.
Consult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels for channels supporting 80 MHz bandwidth!
Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I do not get these channels as option when I try to select them.
Attached are screenshot of available channels for 5GHz.
