Re: Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
What modem are you connected to?
You put that you returned a google wifi to best buy for this, was there an issue?
What is your home materials as this impacts wifi performance?
Is there a lot of interference in your area over wifi? You can do a wireless channel scan using free tools for pcs or phones.
If the issue is with all the devices on 2.4ghz, what worked before the RAX120?
Are you using wpa2 or wpa3?

Re: Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
I returned the google Wi-Fi system due to the poor GUI that was only accessible by a phone.
I am on firmware 1.0.1.108 (latest)
My modem is a netgear m1100 with IP Passthrough enabled. That is not the issue.
The last device that worked well with 2.4G was the google wi-fi and my previous netgear R7200v2.
I am using WPA2
There is virtually no wi-fi interference at all. My arlo base is on a different channel than my wi-fi router on 2.4G.
Like I said before, all devices have this issue, my house material isn't the problem either.

Re: Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
When did you get it?
You know that you have 90 days of free support through netgear as well as a 1 year (some locations more than a year) warrant?
maybe you got one with a defective wifi card.
to contact support (don't google the #) go to the top and click on mynetgear. register an account and then the device. From there you can contact support. If you're within your 90 days of free support, you could use that, or you could potentially start an rma process.
House materials do make a difference. something simple like hvac in the wall can block an incredible amount of broadcasting. Sometimes moving a router a little bit makes a significant difference.
Does the 5ghz work fine?

Re: Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
Did you have any luck? I have the same issue? I have terrible wifi speeds on my rax120. A speed test straight from the router is good but wifi it is crawling.

Re: Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
Good (but bad) to know. I'll have to let others know with that issue on that router.

Re: Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
Huh good to know. I am getting all around terrible wifi speeds. I don't have anything plugged into the usb ports but the speed test from the app shows spot on. Even on a hard wired connection. However my wifi devices are super slow.

@welchyboy I would open up a thread of your own. Many things can cause issues on wifi speeds. We can better assist you with your own thread.
@aspiller98 if you mark the "remove usb device" response as solved, it brings it to the top so others can see what you did to fix the issue without having to read through the whole thread. Good work btw!
