Little tip - set multicast rates to 6Mbps - this effectively disables 11b and keeps the management frames in OFDM mode - which is support by G/N/AX...
@sfx2000 In my ongoing quest to optimize my router settings, I came across this post. Sorry to revive an old thread. I didn’t want to start a new one and I’ve found your posts and comments very helpful while lurking this site. Would setting the multicast rate for the 5GHz band to OFDM 6 be of any value? Or can it be kept as “Auto”? Unlike the 2.4GHz band, the multicast rate options for the 5GHz band are all “OFDM” with 6 being the lowest selectable value…
