Wifi speeds

[Vanyel]

is this normal wifi spd?

 

[Vanyel]

this is my router: GT-AX11000

 

[Vanyel]

my living room pc wired~

the rest of my PCs around the house on wifi all at 90+/-
very sad~

 

[Goodshot]

WiFi damn cui le, why not just lay cable. Mine all the way full 2.5gbp speed

is this normal wifi spd?

Even with 802.11ac 1x1 also not so slow. Something is wrong. Maybe can check channel congestion. Also, are you using 5 GHz bands?

very hard to lay cables T_T

yep have 2 channels for 5ghz also

 

[Vanyel]

only PC5 is wired, the rest really quite hard to connect via ethernet
i probly can do ethernet connection for PC6 but its just for watching movies in the living room, no point making the effort to wire it

Time to upgrade your broadband to 10 Gbps.

What is router 2? Is it a wireless extender?

Since the AX11000 has two 5G 4x4 radio, you could perhaps try to assign one radio completely for wireless extending, let all other devices connect to the other 5G radio.

Have the two 5G radio occupy different channels. The channel for all other devices use Channel 36, the channel for wireless extending use Channel 149.

If the signal is somehow weak between router 1 and 2, ramp up the signal transmit power to 29 dBm (maximum singapore regulatory allowed for channel 149).

Time to upgrade your broadband to 10 Gbps.

With his wireless situation, not even 25 Gbps can help him...

router 2 is GT-AX11000
Router 1 is RT-AC68U Wireless AC1900
i havent go setup aimesh so ya i have 2 different wifi ssid in the hse

wait ar i try to absorb what u just replied me first, totally no idea everything u said hahaha

 

[Vanyel]

so i disable radio on the rest?

AC68U is very old... its bottlenecking your setup a lot because it is using the same radio to transmit to wireless AX11000 and your other devices too...

Since AC68U is router 1 (connected to ISP modem), I suggest changing it to Channel 149 first and only use it for wireless extender (no other devices connect to this except PC5) if possible. Turn up transmit power too. See how it goes from there.

It is also a security risk since it no longer receive updates.

its basically just for my robot vacuum cleaner in the living rm
dining rm router signal is very weak in the living rm, i had to setup 1 more router in the living rm
even if i put the AX11000 in the living, my bedrooms all 1 bar signal strength
i think is too many walls...

Is 2.4 GHz sufficient for the robot vacuum, or is it still weak on 2.4 GHz? Such IoT devices typically go on 2.4 GHz for maximum range, since they do not consume that much bandwidth.

both routers are connected directly to modem
i managed to lay a line to the dining rm AX1000

the robot vaccum unable to connect to the AX11000 in the dining rm

Ah. Ignore everything I said then, since it does not apply. Its odd then, to have the AX11000 at such slow speeds.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the ethernet cable on both AX11000 and modem. I suspect your network dropped to 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet due to either poor connection or poor/broken cabling.

same thing, spd at 90mbps
i get a new cable tomorrow and replace the existing one to see if it changes anything

 

[Vanyel]

ok so i saw this boost button on the ax11000, its lit up by which i assume its turned on

i pressed and hold to off it and this happened~!!!
