2.4ghz low speed concern

[ColinTaylor]

Now wondering why most of you have 192.168.0.1 subnet

Only one person in this thread have said they're using that subnet.

 

[Tech9]

Because most are lazy enough to change the default LAN IP and it doesn’t really matter on a single network not connected to other private networks.

I use 192.168.0.x because it doesn't usually get used by default out of the box for most devices. It's really up to you what you want to use though. Anything in rfc1918 will work. Though some devices only let you pick something in 192.168.x.x

I should probably change mine from Asus’ default.

Going back to this topic. I don’t see much benefit enabling 40mhz because most IoT only shows 20mhz even when 40mhz only enabled. No complain about speed tho, most above 80mbps, and no overlapping with neighbours.

I've just made an interesting discovery (and a reporting error perhaps):

TP-Link T3U 2-stream Wi-Fi adapter to AX86U router with non-standard QAM on 2.4GHz band @40MHz wide, reported as AC device.

Runs pretty consistent and fast too for 2.4GHz connection. I didn't know T3U knows karate... I mean TurboQAM or whatever it is called.

Nah - that's just 2.4GHz 11x 2*2:2 on a wide channel - no turbo/nitro QAM needed

Interesting to note however that wide channels don't double bandwidth, just to level-set here...

Are you sure? Standard modulation for 802.11n is 64-QAM or 300Mbps on 2x2 MIMO. 400Mbps must be 256-QAM or so called TurboQAM. The router is showing it incorrectly as AC connection perhaps based on modulation - 256-QAM is standard for 802.11ac.

72/65 Mbps on 11n per stream on 20Mhz channels

That's only the PHY rate...

2 stream on a 20MHz channel on 11n - if you hit 90 Mbps - that's good when copying files...

Ok to use channel 13 in UK?

Sure. Although I did have a problem with an IoT device a few years ago that simply didn't support channels 12 and 13. So YMMV.

Nope. Ok if close range but 5Ghz clients affected on channel 52 lol
