Wifi buffering after installing WiFi Range Extender AC1200Wifi buffering after installing WiFi Range
Initially installed R6400 router. Router installed on second floor of home. Son's bedroom on first floor received poor signal on his desktop that he uses for video gaming. Purchased and installed AC1200 Wifi extender. Since, installing the extender, watching YouTube videos, through my Samsung TV, buffer often and when playing is choppy. I'm assuming my son's video gaming is hogging the broadband width but I'm not certain. Is there a way to monitor and limit broadband width to a specific device? Thank Youperformance on wifi extender - WN2000RPTv3 - is almost half of main nighthawk
I upgraded my ISP service to 100mbps recently. When i run speed test on my main wifi nighthawk it is close to what I pay for (98mbps vs 100), however when i run speed test on the extended wifi network, it is almost half of that. I have upgraded firmware, reran the setup wizzard, and reset, etc. same results. The WiFi speed in gennie states 143mbps as max potential (G) and there is nothing else on the extended network. Is this normal?WiFi Performance of JR6150/AC750
Hello, The spec for this J46150/AC750 says 300 + 450 Mbps for 2.4 and 5 Gz respectively. My Fibernet service provider is now giving a speed of 100Mbps (earlier it was 60 Mbps ) however he says this model wifi router doesn't support more than 45 Mbps. I am not clear if I understand him, if the spec says 450Mbps in 5GHz band or 300 Mbps in 2.4 GHz band as Wifi performance, why it wouldn;t be able to give the wifi performance of 100Mbps. The termination in my equipment is using cat 5 cable ( in the wan port ofcourse). Am I missing something ? He is asking me to upgrade to use the full power of the speed. Pls clarify.
