RS200 speed slows to half after a day or two
I had an Asus router that was having a problem where I'd have to reboot it every week or it would start having up to 40% packet loss. Really weird and annoying, so I replaced it last week with an RS2...
Oh yes the RS200 doesn't have the 6 Ghz band, I forgot about it too. It isn't a big deal since the range in 6 Ghz band is very limited. Manually select a non DFS least congested channel 36-48 or 149-161 with speed up to 2.9 Gbps (80 mhz bandwidth), since the 160 Mhz bandwidth isn't ideal with neighboring wifi networks or radar interference. Also most older clients don't support UNII-4 channels 169-177.
5 GHz. Because I'm a dummy and didn't pay enough attention, I got the RS200 which is only dual band and doesn't have 6 GHz. My own mistake there and I'm kicking myself for it.
The currently selected mode is "Up to 5.8 GHz". Are you saying I should manually select a channel and then drop that setting down to the "up to 2.9" setting?
