WNDR4300 Wireless Speed issues
I get better than 100Mbps wired directly to the router via ethernet cable. But wireless is under 20Mbps. I am direct line of site to the router, about 30 feet away. Running Win 10. No my laptop (HP Envy) is NOT able to use 5G, so does 5G really make that much of a difference? I also tried changing channels, but i didnt feel iike buying the channel analyzer app. I live in a condo with neighbors and several other wifi networks in range. Just to make sure the problem is not my heavy usage of the router I powered off all of my other devices (ipad, cell phone, music apeaker), still getting under 20Mbps. I cant upgrade the network adaptor on my laptop, so Im stuck with 2.4G. Ipad does successfully get the 5G connection, so i know the 5g works on this router, just not with my laptop. Incidentally the ipad gets 42Mbps via 5G, double what the laptop gets via 2.4G, but still less than half of what the connection is. Any ideas??SolvedWNDR3400v3 connects 5G and ethernet but not using 2.4G
I have an WNDR3400v3 N600 Wireless Dual Band Router which will no longer connect in the 2.4G band if security is turned on. The 5G band and all ethernet ports work fine. As I have 2 other 2.4G access point in our facility, I set one AP on channel 1, the other on channel 11 while the the router (WNDR3400v3) is set to channel 6. This set up has work very well for the past 3 1/2 months. Last week the router 2.4G channel would not let anyone connect. Neither laptops, iPhone nor Androids. If I turn off security it will work and allows connections. Turn security back on, it kicks everyone off and each client keeps cycling through the connection process. I have changed the channel, reset the router, changed the passphrase, all to no avail. I also updated the firmware to the latest (V1.0.1.2_1.0.51). Anyone have any ideas? And if not, how do I get this thing replaced since obviously it's not working as advertised. Thanks for your help.Solved4.5KViews0likes10Comments
