Nighthawk mesh mr60 - satellite same performance as main router unit?
Upgraded to this model - much better than what I had before, even thought that Netgear router wasn't meant to cover the area it did and it did it well until work from home volume increases. Two weeks...
it could be that your device is bandsteering from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.
5ghz is much faster.
2.4ghz is much slower and more sensitive to interference.
If its critical to your work, I'd have the office computer hardwired to the primary router. That's going to be your best speeds/performance
Thanks and really appreciate your expertise. I'll assume there's no way to manage the bandsteering? Thanks again. Ken
its based on a series of factors like bandwidth, rssi, etc.
A couple key things is to make sure to have them spaced properly. they need to be at least 30ft apart to roam properly.
You can also always try to set the 2.4ghz broadcast strength down a bit. some have had luck going that route if the satellites are close and t here's not much interference.
