    Advice for Brand New Fully Wired Home

    I like DongKnows article and I went off by and got into Asus, but it was not my best experience. Two things: his tests are good trying to measure theoretical max speed and in a clever way. Issue I had from practical side is I will never reach those speed. Second at least from what I read of few...

    Advice for Brand New Fully Wired Home

    @rdb4141 Welcome to the forum. 3400 sqft is a quite bit to cover with a single router unit. In fact, I personally found out many of rating by manufactures are more or so in an ideal condition than practical condition. So if you are the one looking for optimal coverage (more than just adequate...

    Channel 1,6 and 11 Myth or Truth?

    The tool I captured images from is built in RF Scanner in UniFi Access Points. I couldn't finding a specific detail of how they compute but it says, "the best channel found will be selected and automatically set, based on how busy the channel is, the RSSI of the channel, and whether or not the...

    Channel 1,6 and 11 Myth or Truth?

    Up until recently, I have been relying on auto channel selection by my router/access points. However, I know there are many experienced network user talks about 1, 6 and 11 for 2.4 GHz. The reasoning here makes total sense, which is because these 3 are only channels that do not overlap in 2.4...

    Seamless roaming from 5 to 2.4 Ghz using one AP - same or different SSID?

    I know in my case one SSID works even though I have different AP than yours. In theory, I feel separate SSID for two to achieve what you want seems really hard to impossible. Because your iPhone will stick to 5G network as long as it can. Then it reaches to the point finally it no longer can...

    Home Wi-fi Set Up, how to improve

    I've done many times as I tend to swap entire home network in several months to a year. As long as you have the identical SSID and Password (not sure if authentication method need to be the same e.g. WPA2 Personal vs. Enterprise) they work as I myself hate to reprogram Nest CO detector. But it...

    Home Wi-fi Set Up, how to improve

    I think what you are talking or experiencing is high density Wifi, more commonly talked in enterprise product line as well as Wifi 6. The latter unfortunately require clients to be compatible so not a solution for us yet. Cisco Meraki for instance define 30 or more clients in small area as high...

    Is wifi 6 the solution for my slow office network?

    @businesstx You have over 4000sqft area to cover with single Access Point, I think that's too much. Different construction can affect things differently to a large degree so I can't compare your office to my home, but as for reference my home is 3800 sqft and I need at least 2 AP to cover most...

    Is wifi 6 the solution for my slow office network?

    Is Huawei only AP? Is your TP link router also wifi router? If Huawei is the only AP, I think you already identified bottleneck, the 100 Mbps link. It is the best to confirm it by doing some speed test so there is nothing else hidden/need replacement. If for some reason your TP link router is...

    New Build House. FTP in cupboard + Metal stud walls Best setup?

    I apologize if I am misunderstanding here. Are the room/wall ethernet jack all single ports and all connecting back to the cupboard, right? If so, why can't you use ethernet to simply bridge one wall jack to another jack in the cupboard? So put a router with AP on one floor plug its LAN port...

    Awful performance with AX200, great performance with macbook pro

    It looks like ax200 is 2x2 MIMO. In which case, your PHY should be 1200 at max and that speed you got close to router is over 50 percent efficiency so it is expected range of function i.e. the adapter is function. The low speed in your room is also expected because you have only -74 RSSI...

    Awful performance with AX200, great performance with macbook pro

    What is the signal strength seen by Ax200 i.e. RSSI and PHY? How about these values in close proximity to the Ax92U e.g. 5ft or so. Basically, I'd check physical link strength/speed and if it can reach full performance in close proximity but not at your testing spot with weak signal/PHY, then...

    Help with AP Placement - House Layout Pictures Provided

    Cool. Theoretically it should never be as good and client based direct measurement but I personally thought it was helpful for starting point.

    Help with AP Placement - House Layout Pictures Provided

    Omada looks like enterprise line of product. Doe it have a virtual coverage heat map function? I don’t think any of AP driven heatmap is super accurate but it may give you some guidance. I used it for my setup. Even though I had almost adequate coverage for my 3800 sqft with 2 APs, I used heat...

    Awful performance with AX200, great performance with macbook pro

    Maybe I’m paranoid but I thought bssid is WAP mac id so unique identifier. I thought many on internet hide those.

    Awful performance with AX200, great performance with macbook pro

    Asus router should be able to show list of connected devices (at least I was able to see it when I had Ax11000). I had 92U but it was in AiMesh mode but I assume it can show the same. You look like connected to second 5GHz band. 92U has only one 5GHz band that is Ax capable. So if you have it...

    Awful performance with AX200, great performance with macbook pro

    Your speed with ax200 looks like that of 2.4 GHz band. Do you know what PHY are you connected to? Both speed look like having bottleneck outside of client wifi adapter though.

    Yeah this is a great article. Thank you for sharing it. I remember reading it a little while ago but I need to bookmark it.

    How do you max out a Gigabit internet connection

    Purely for self satisfaction of looking at speed test result and bragging rights of 1 gigabit internet! My work require speedy download but even with wired computer, VPN throttles the workstation down.

    WiFi 6 was not worth it for me ~ Journey of WiFi 6 AiMesh back to WiFi 5 UniFi ~

    I don't doubt it. The key here is though I DO NOT have AX200 chipset client. Only Wifi 6 client I got is iPhone Pro 11. My laptop is WiFi 5 MBP but it has 3x3 MIMO so in close proximity it can give me 800 Mbps on WiFi, which is good enough to satisfy my passion. But yes, I don't mean to...
