Aztech DSL7002GRV-(s)

[CarbonoAtom]

a noob question, for the 7000's how do you toggle between 2.4hz and 5hz? is there a switch on the modem like, ok i want 5hz faster speed so i press a switch then i want to surf net in my bedroom, need long range of wifi coverage so that my bedroom can receive wifi signal.

Thanks

I'm thinking to change my pace to 7002. Wifi signal strength is my main priority. I'dont to use homeplug as it reduce the speed almost 50%. I hope 7002 can solved my needs.

There are two different SSID's for the two different frequencies, so you do not need to 'toggle' between them

Any ideas why two iphone 4 (one is iOS7.0.4 and the other is iSO4.1) can detect the WiFi network of the Aztech 7002 and after input the Password...login for a while than disappear ? When check the wifi status , it show the Aztech 7002 SSID but it just fail to connect.

Anyone having this problem ?

Probably the signal is weak at that location. This is normal when the signal is weak. Same thing with my Motorola Xoom when I tried to connect to the 5Ghz band at 12.5 metres away but no problem with the 2.4Ghz band. Move nearer to the router to isolate whether this is the problem.

Do note the iPhone 4 is 2.4Ghz only.

How come yours is so fast, mine only reaches 93mbps on the 2.4ghz channel, never tested the 5ghz channel speed yet.....? Same 200mbps plan?? What setting did you use and 203 mbps is damn fast, even the ac routers nowadays cannot reach that speed? Please tell me what did you do???

Didn't do anything special. All standard settings.

The DSL7000GRV(S) is 2.4 Ghz single band only. The DSL7002GRV(S) is dual band.

There is no switch on the router to press for selecting the band. Both band are by default enabled and transmitting at the same time (simultaneously). It is not either or.

On your PC or device, you select which band you want to connect to by selecting the SSID. Therefore your PC or device WiFi adaptor have to be dual-band capable to detect both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz SSIDs that your router is transmitting.

The "switch" is therefore your selecting of the SSID to connect.

upgrade, what is your 2.4ghz speed???


Btw, does anyone know if they have been successful to create the linksys WRT-54G into a repeater, dunno how this works for this router??? Any help????

P.S WRT-54G has DD-WRT installed as per instructions on Life Hacker..

It is BPL time now. That Mac mini is connected to the TV. I will try to test with a notebook.

Not advisable. WRT54G is 2.4Ghz wireless G. If use it as repeater, the DSL7002GRV(S) will drop to operate at wireless G for every thing. Couple with the 50% to 60% drop in speed due to repeating mode (already at G speed so half that), then WiFi will slow to a crawl.

Not sure whether the 5Ghz band will be affected.

Yes, go to http://192.168.1.254/singtel where the

There go to Device Status, there is what you seek....

I can't find that "Parental Control" option under Device Status:
LAN
DSL
Voice
Internet
IPTV
Management

What kind of Parental Control? Manual addition of Mac adresses, if it is not this I do not know what it is Sorry

last time I used DSl1015EW, you can block start time and end time for each IP address. i.e. within this period, the IP even connected can't connect to internet.

I restricted my kids from midnight to 8:00am so that they can sleep earlier.

I sent email asked AZTECH. They replied and asked me to ask Singtel .

They will resent you doing this. They may be too young to show but trust me the resentment is brewing inside of them. And when they are older...

I have been down that road.

So upgrade, what is ur speed on 2.4ghz, it is okay if u pm me.

 

[CarbonoAtom]

I noticed, on my 2.4ghz channel, now my download speed is 20mbps and my upload is 83mbps, how is this possible?

 

[upgrade]

My test on the 2.4Ghz band using ASUS R303CA Vivobook I bot from a bro from his (Starhub or M1) bundle. This notebook can only connect on 2.4Ghz only.

 

[CarbonoAtom]

Lol, ur speeds are so fast....
Alas, how to check if there are any firmware updates, also where can I find the specs for this router?? Searched all over the internet and on Aztech's website there is only 7000GRV

Has anyone been able to access the samba server on their android devices yet? If so how did you do it?


Does anyone have a higher upload than download on wireless coz now it is like 91mbps of upload vs. 14mbps of download on the 2.4ghz channel????

 

[NY__chickenpie]

Does anyone knows how to bridge the 7002GRV, what are the steps, i need to use my own router but not as a repeater?

 

[CarbonoAtom]

A router with a different SSID?

 

[NY__chickenpie]

Want to use my dlink router wireless, disable the wireless on 7002grv.

 

[CarbonoAtom]

Ooh, quite simple, disable wireless on 7002, connect dlink via ethernet port on 7002 to broadband ethernet port on D-Link and enable wireless, though the wireless on 7002 is stronger btw....

Assume you are referring to within your LAN, I am using ES file explorer. Click LAN and scan. It auto detect 192.168.1.254.

Yes upload speed is higher than download. Don't know why. But download at 14bmps is on the low side for fibre.
