RBRE960 IoT Network Slow
hi, I’ve had the RBRE960 for a few weeks and getting amazing speeds from the main network. However, I’m having problems with the IOT network, both in terms of speed and the fact that it keeps droppi...
There is only one set of 2.4G radio and antennas. All that is different is Netgear has added a third 2.4G SSID (primary, guest, IoT). The only way that the IoT network would have slower speeds is if the SSID broadcast was modified to advertise only slower speeds. It is not trivial to capture WiFi broadcast packets, so this is not easy to verify. (If I had a 960, I would know in an hour..... but I don't)
Devices connected to the primary or guest networks at 2.4G exhibit different "Link Rates" than those connected to the IoT network?
As for the WiFi network 'disappearing', is that all of the 2.4G WiFi networks, or only the IoT?

Good point. I didn't realize that while the AXE has an extra 5Ghz radio, I think for IoT, it still only has one 2.4Ghz radio.
