Mystery of two C6300 cable modem router with dual band wifi.
I have identical c6300 installed at 2 homes (not next door) with exactly the same setup and configuration. Both c6300 have same type and firmware level Dlink cameras connected using wifi. Wifi setting is 2.4Ghz, broadcast, auto channel selection, speed up to 450Mbps, wpa and wpa2 security selected. One c6300 connects with no problem what so ever. The other devices triy to connect to 2.4Ghz but will drop. I checked and confirmed as well as change passphrase. Devices that cannot connect include ipad 3&4, kindle hdx, win10 laptop with dual band n. Only device that can connect at both site ont the 2.4Ghz is a LG LGMS323 android phone. Comcast at both site. Let me know if I can provide you with additional details. ThanksNetwork Monitor not tracking wireless with 5ghz off
As it says in the title, the OS does not recognize any data flow with 5ghz disabled. I have no need of 5ghz so I keep it off but 2.4ghz is on and my mobile is connected to it. Also, the Device Manager shows my wireless as being offline on the Network Map. What gives? If I could suggest, a simple solution to this would be to seperate the wireless into the two wavelengths. V2.2.1.10Single Broadcast Issues
I have been having this issue since day one with Orbi. I don't understand why they do not create an option where there is a drop down for all the connected macids that say "dual", "5ghz" or "2.4ghz". Let me explain my situation. I have nest cams and wifi doorbell that are connected to 5ghz. As we know 5ghz doesnt penetrate walls well, so the connection is slow. They would be better off on 2.4ghz but orbi keeps them on a slow 5 ghz connection. My solution is very simple from a programming standpoint and would solve all my issues. Curious what group thinks. Thanks
