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

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
Attached is the wifi scan

What device is this WifiInfoView application running on?
Does this device have a Wi-Fi radio that is capable of connecting to an 802.11/ac signal?
Have you tried to connect to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi with a different device? Does it show a connection for 802.11/a?
Your screen snip cut off part of the settings at the bottom. What security option do you have set for the 5 GHz band?
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!
