Hi guys,
I've been lurking around for a while and decided to ask some expertise.
I've had an issue where my 2.4ghz speeds intermittently drop sometimes as low as 1meg, (this is connected to a 30meg cable connection), the 5ghz band is fine however which suprised me.
Sometimes the issue will happen even in the same room as the router, but much more likely to happen at a distance. I know the router is capable of the speed, just intermittently.
I'm currently using a Netgear N7000
But I had the same problem with the ASUS R66U and the WNDR3700 netgear
The problem is especially noticeable On mobile device namely iphone 5/5s
The ac link is absolutely blistering on my macbook also and the dlna server is adequate, just this silly slow speed drop on 2.4ghz
I've tried changing channels, enabling and disabling n-only modes, played with tX power, updated firmware, moving the antenna around (not sure what way to move them if I want better speeds upstairs)
The signal strength is actually is showing to be in the 50's pretty much constantly with the absolute worst reading at -60, which confuses me even more!
I can't think of anything interfering with it, I've tried it with no one else connected also, but just can't understand why 5ghz works fine and 2.4 doesn't !!
Spending near £200 on a home router with around 8 devices including mobile ones i thought is solve the problem !
Is there anything you guys can suggest, quite clearly signal strength doesn't equal throughput.
If there is any more info you need, please be sure to let me know. Reluctant to change antennas on it as unsure of the compatability, what with this ones insane beam forming and all that.
Thanks so much
