Ultraslow Wifi on 2.4 Ghz
Hello
I have the following setup
ISP router (Ziggo) -> SRR60 as AP -> 5x SRK60 (3x wired, 2x wifi) and 1x SRC60 (wifi) -> wifi and utp clients
-> unmanged switch -> utp clients
The base speed is 600mbps
The wired clients get this speed
The wifi clients sometimes do okay with 200mbps but for no apparent reason can do max 10mbps the next day (same situation)
I tried:
splitting networks, no luck
splitting 2.4 and 5 Ghz, no luck
The mesh status is excellent on the wired ones and good on the wifi ones
What could cause this or what can I try?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?If seen, Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or may not be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Hi,
Thank you for your reply
I have 2 setups
1:
One floor of 22.500ft2 with 1 router and 6 satellites of which most are wired (2 are wirelessly connected)
We have split (because if this) the 2.4 and 5. The 5 Ghz is working pretty much perfectly at 600-700mbps (max provider speed)
Max distance is about 50ft most with a direct line of sight
2:
2 floors approx 1.200ft2 with 1 router and 2 satelliets, both wirelessly connected
Again 5 Ghz is working fine at 300 mbps (max provider speed)

I have tried switching band as it is pretty busy, but the result remains the same.
Close the router I can get 50mbps which is still not great.
I will try the same settings tomorrow on location 1
Thanks for the help, but I don't think we are there yet.
